Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 19, 2010

BUILDER, the number one information source for the home building industry, announces a giveaway promotion of Amazon Kindle e-readers for people who tour the first entirely virtual show home and Web site during the 2010 International Builders’ Show: http://www.builderconcepthome2010.

The contest begins January 19 and runs for 12 weeks through April 10. Twelve winners will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries received by the sweepstakes deadline. The drawing will take place on or about 5/1/10. The sweepstakes winners will be notified within five (5) working days. No purchase necessary. Terms & Conditions of the sweepstakes can be found at http://www.builderconcepthome2010.com/rules.php.

http://www.builderconcepthome2010.com will include a special e-reader literature section with background on the home and the products in the home. All visitors who tour the home and visit all of the sponsor booths in the tour will automatically be entered into the contest. The Kindle is the number one e-reader on the market today and was the most popular item purchased on Amazon.com for Christmas in 2009.

The Builder Concept Home 2010: A Home for the New Economy exemplifies a dramatic shift in how homes are designed, built, maintained, lived in—and presented to the industry. The 1,700-square-foot home is a model of adaptability, sustainability, and livability for the current housing economy and its future. It is inexpensive to build, yet classically detailed. And, for the first time in national show home history, it is entirely virtual. Users around the world will be able to join attendees of the International Builder Show online when the home is unveiled.

The Builder Concept Home 2010: A Home for the New Economy will open for custom online virtual tours at http://www.builderconcepthome2010.com on January 19, the first day of the 2010 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas, and will remain open through June 30, 2010.

The BUILDER Concept Home 2010 has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and is designed to adapt to the homeowners’ personal economy and changing lifestyle needs. For the first time in national show home history, the house will be open exclusively as an online virtual tour using photo-realistic renderings and state-of-the-art movie software that enables a customizable experience for each visitor. The site includes a history of 12 years of Builder Concept Homes, video interviews with the designer Marianne Cusato and building scientist Mark LaLiberte, and background on the partners and sponsors of the home.
