UK - In celebration of 40 years of Zero 88, Cooper Controls are running a competition to reward loyal Zero 88 users with a chance to win a new lighting desk. To win a console, users simply submit a photograph of themselves with their Zero 88 product, from past or present.

Pictures can be submitted via the Zero 88 Facebook page (http://facebook.com/zero88) or by email to mamz88@orbdesk.com, and should feature the user themselves alongside any Zero 88 product. If users don't have their Zero 88 product to hand, a photograph in a Zero 88 t-shirt at an interesting location is also acceptable.

The competition runs until Thursday 6September 2012, and the lucky winner will be announced at the PLASA Show the following week. (Earls Court 1 - Stand E38)
