Nearly 55,000 consumers shared what is most exciting for them this Black Friday season as part of the Black Friday VIP contest. From creative poems to heart-warming stories, each entry showed the many ways Black Friday is an exciting time in people's lives. From a father who has spent thirteen years shopping at Best Buy on Black Friday with his daughter to a husband who met his wife waiting in line close to twenty years ago, the stories all shared why this is such an extraordinary day for many.

One of the most humorous entries was submitted by a husband and wife from Washington, D.C., who each shared their side of a story from a recent Black Friday morning excursion. The wife was selected as the official Black Friday VIP for the day.

Special VIP Treatment on Friday, Nov. 27

Each of the Black Friday VIP winners and three special guests will receive a limousine ride to and from the designated Best Buy store, on-site pampering, prizes along with early admittance into the store at 4:30 a.m. Winners also receive a $1,000 Best Buy gift card and an Insignia(R) Digital Camcorder to document the Black Friday VIP experience. A video of their Black Friday adventures may be posted on http://www.bestbuyvipcontest.com/ the week after Thanksgiving.

Whether it's a time to spend with family or your best friends, Black Friday is a special moment in time for many shoppers. For one man, being a hero in his family is what drives his dedication on Black Friday morning.

The VIP winner from Boston said it best:

"When I came home from shopping on Black Friday morning, I was the champion of the family. The prodigal son who came back bringing milk and honey, aka: a 1080p television. I knew after all the work, I had been appointed the head honcho of the family. My brothers and sisters had nothing to measure up to my accomplishments. I knew that in that very moment, I was invincible--all thanks to Best Buy Black Friday."

The complete list of Black Friday VIP winning entries are posted at www.bestbuyvipcontest.com.
