Our Velvet Bag contest entry period has closed!  Help us choose by voting on the winner!  If yours wasn't one of the finalists, take heart - we have a new contest running through the month of August - What's Your Passion?

One of the most celebrated things that our customers always talk about is the fact that our speakers come packaged in luxurious velvet bags. We’ve always speculated the types of things they could be used for after bringing your speakers safely to you, and this is your chance to shine!

Photo Entries
Just email us a photo of your creations and you’ll be entered to win an Aperion Signature SLIMstage30 by Soundmatters Soundbar System, which includes our new SLIMstage30 Soundbar and our Bravus 8A Subwoofer. It’s a $799 value, and one lucky (and creative) person will be enjoying it in their home.

Written Ideas
If you don’t have your bags anymore or you aren’t an Aperion customer yet, not to worry! Just email us your pitch and we’ll consider it along with the rest of them.

Thanks for playing, and GOOD LUCK!
