Well, Blue Line Innovations is having their own “Energy Saving Tip” contest with the prize being, yes, your very own free PowerCost Monitor. Here is the information from the official contest rules:

“The contest encourages willing participants to develop a short video of an energy saving idea they have, upload it to YouTube and submit the link to contest@bluelineinnovations.com.

The top 5 videos will win a PowerCost Monitor as decided by voters who view www.youtube.com/user/powercostmonitor and comment on their favorite submission. The voter will be asked to e-mail their favorite video through the following channels:

• contest@bluelineinnovations.com,
• Direct message or mention your vote to @powercost on Twitter, or
