Moen Incorporated Announces Winner of the 5th Annual "Show Us Your Style" Online Remodeling Contest

NORTH OLMSTED, OH--(Marketwire - December 10, 2008) - When remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, every change can make a drastic difference. Often the simplest updates like swapping your faucet or adding new paint, can help transform a room into a masterpiece -- so it's no wonder homeowners are meticulous when it comes to the details. For homeowner Joan Sullivan of Nottingham, NH, little did she know that the changes she made when remodeling her kitchen would become monumental as she was voted the Grand Prize winner of Moen Incorporated's fifth annual "Show Us Your Style" online remodeling contest. Sullivan received $9,000 cash and $1,000 worth of Moen® products.

From August 1 to October 19, 2008, homeowners posted their kitchen or bath remodeling story, photos and video online at www.showusyourstyle.com, competing for the Grand Prize package worth $10,000. Moen then chose the eight finalists, who each were awarded $1,000 Visa® gift cards. The public had the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist from November 1 to November 15, 2008.

"Our 'Show Us Your Style' contest gives homeowners the ability to share their remodeling experiences and design inspiration with the world," said Ginny Long, Moen's director of online and direct marketing. "We were very impressed with the talented home decorators across the country and the public's great response to the online voting."

With the kitchen quickly becoming the new living room and one of the main rooms in the home to socialize, voters recognized Sullivan's need to expand her small space. From a new kitchen island, pot filler and cooktop, to new sinks and appliances, Sullivan made sure to incorporate timeless pieces and colors into her décor to make her new kitchen the central hub of her home.

Moen created the "Show Us Your Style" contest in 2004 as a way to help inspire homeowners with creative and affordable ways to renovate their kitchens and bathrooms.

In addition to the contest, homeowners are encouraged to visit the "Show Us Your Style" site year-round for the latest style tips, trends and new product information and also to view the remodeling stories, photos and videos.
