Best Buy is offering a Black Friday VIP contest to shoppers in 25 cities. To enter shoppers have to write a short 250 words or less essay about what they are most excited about this Black Friday. Best Buy ran a similar contest last year. Pictured above is one of last year's winners arriving at a Best Buy on Black Friday, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia.

One winner from each of the 25 eligible markets will win a $1,000 Best Buy Gift Card. They will also win VIP treatment, which Best Buy describes as "a limousine ride to and from the designated Best Buy store, special seating outside for the winner and three special guests, and early admittance into the store at 4:30 a.m." Each winner will also receive an Insignia Digital Camcorder to document their experience. Details and rules can be found at bestbuyvipcontest.com. The participating markets include: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa and Washington, DC.

Best Buy is also offering prizes to people who are the first in line at its stores in the 25 markets mentioned above. Mystery gift cards ranging in value from $5 to $25 (and one worth $100) will be distributed to the first 50 people in line on Black Friday morning.
