VOLCOM COMPETITIONS: EVAN AT MORRISEYS NEW ZEALAND TAKES FIRST PRIZE IN THE VOLCOM BRAND JEANS WINDOW COMPETITION

Over 100 stores throughout Australia and New Zealand participated in the competition, all stores were shipped out a basic pack of Volcom Brand Jean point of sale and each had the chance to get creative using what Volcom supplied and introducing their own elements.

We received some creative window entrants, but it was Evan from Morrissey’s in a small country timber town on New Zealand’s North Island (13,000 population) that took first prize with his use of foil, a stone TV, Volcom brand jeans and a hell of a lot of pins and came up with a very creative Volcom brand jeans window.

Evan received a surprise visit from the Volcom NZ crew and the Marketing Manager to deliver the news. Evan had a real shock and could not believe Larry the storeowner had kept the news to himself until the Volcom crew arrived, well only from Evan as he had Evan’s parent’s present and local skaters as well as a team of supports all cheering when the news was delivered.

Was great to see the excitement in the store and a well deserving all expenses paid trip to Sydney to spend a day skating with Dustin Dolling and Chima Ferguson and a walk through the Volcom warehouse to collect $500 worth of Volcom product.

Evan was clearly stoked to have won the competition and spoke of sleepless nights thanks to his new born son who he later dedicated the win, “with out my son keeping me up at night and depriving me of sleep, I would not have been able to have come up with this idea, it is amazing where your mind can go when you don’t sleep he said”.
