Doctors Vision Center Kicks-Off 2013 See the Music Better Contest

RALEIGH, NC, April 24, 2013 (Press-News.org) Today, Doctors Vision Center launched "See the Music Better", a contest with prizing from Live Nation Entertainment, to raise awareness of the importance of sight.

"Consumers are bombarded with offers on glasses and eye exams, but the best offer does not always mean what's best for your eyes", notes William Hollis, President of Doctors Vision Center. "In today's society of fast-paced information exchange and social interaction, we have to find creative ways to reach consumers and remind them of the importance of sight and eye health, something many take for granted. Music and sight are a powerful connection to remind us all the importance of good vision."
The contest, which runs through June 16, asks participants to submit one-minute videos that demonstrate why seeing the music is better. The contest is open to all North Carolina residents, 18 years or older, and participants are encouraged to be as creative as possible - through song, spoken word, rap or skit - to make their submissions stand out.

Contest winners will be chosen based on the number of "likes" their video submission receives. The videos with the most likes will win. Also, in an effort to reinforce the importance of an eye exam, participants who refer friends and family to make an appointment for an eye exam at one of the 44 Doctors Vision Center network office locations, will receive a "referral bonus" of 200 of likes. Bonus like coupons can be downloaded directly from the participant's video page.

"Through this contest, we are inviting the public to use their creativity to bring awareness to the importance of vision by telling us why seeing the music is better," added Dr. Peter Hollis, Medical Director of Doctors Vision Center. "In a live music setting, our sight connects us to the artist and the show. This natural connection drives us to want to 'see the music better'."

The contest offers great prizes, thanks to Live Nation and the Doctors Vision Center's vision partners CooperVision, Marchon (distributors of Nautica, Nike, Nine West and Michael Kors branded eyewear) and Essilor, maker of Xperio UV lenses. One grand-prize winner will receive a concert weekend for four to a 2013 Live Nation produced and promoted concert at a Live Nation owned and operated venue in the United States, including flights, tickets, hotel stay and $1,000 spending cash, plus an additional four tickets to a 2013 concert at a Live Nation owned and operated venue in North Carolina, a pair of designer eyeglass frames from Nautica, Nike, Nine West or Michael Kors, and four exclusive See The Music hats. Three best-of winners will receive four tickets to a 2013 concert at a Live Nation owned and operated venue in North Carolina, a pair of designer eyeglass frames from Nautica, Nike, Nine West or Michael Kors, and four exclusive See The Music hats. Additional prizes will be given to 10 runner-up winners and 20 consolation-prize winners.
