The Edge Has Found Its Lost Listener!

Wednesday, 25 August 2010, 1:42 pm
Press Release: The Edge FM

Emma Lee Lewis, a 20-year-old bartender and aspiring musician from Christchurch, will be The Edge’s ‘lost listener’ for the Lost in a Box promotion. Emma will spend 21 days living in a 2m x 3m windowless box hidden somewhere in New Zealand for the chance to win $10,000.

“I’m speechless, I’m so nervous, but very excited,” said Lewis when she heard the news. “This is going to be a great adventure and I guess I’ll take each of the 21 days as they come. I’m going to try my hardest to get someone to find me; I need someone to find me!”

Over the 21 days, Lewis will have no idea where in NZ she is but will be given daily clues to share with Edge listeners watching her through live web cams at the all new theedge.co.nz. She will be relying on the people watching her to find her location within 200 metres on a virtual map in order to win the $10,000. The person who finds her will also win $10,000.

Lewis will be Lost in a Box from September 1, and then the virtual hunt will begin online at the all new theedge.co.nz.
