As the readers of Focus we ask you to be the judge and vote for your favorite ¼ page shop ad! The contest is to be judged on the shop’s ad’s overall design, its message, how well it stands out, its call-to-action, and everything else that makes for a successful ad campaign.

To cast your vote: Please leave a comment below stating which shop you think should win!

Prizes: It’s a Win-Win-Win!
The Presidential winner, and winner of the Electoral College vote will be receiving a handsome amount of product from each sponsor to help stock their store. In addition to that, they will also receive a year’s worth of ¼ page ads in Focus to help promote their shop and help pave the way for local shops to take back the streets.

The winner of the popular vote will receive $200 in Focus gear to help give the shop a bit of a jump start back towards greater economic times, as well as a ¼ page ad in the next issue of Focus.

And readers, we haven’t forgotten you! For taking on this challenge, and taking the time to vote, your name will be entered into a drawing where one lucky winner will get a killer prize package from Focus!

A San Jose, CA. native, Zack has seen every corner of the city. As a kid he moved around constantly, Zack used these formidable days to search out skate spots and refine his skills. Jumping on a TMA trip to Barcelona Spain, pushed him into home studies and provided an opportunity to skate with some of Tiltmodes finest players.

When life deals you lemons… Zack retreated to the wood shop to keep those creative juices flowing and help him push past health issues. Back on the board, the San Jose “King of POP” skates with pure stoke.

A little time has passed, and Ramsey is enjoying the good life from all the money made from slanging Shetler’s Mid tops. But Shetler wants his cut of the action…
