New York, NY (July 18, 2005) - Crisscrossing the country, MTV2 is hitting the road this summer visiting some of music’s biggest artists with one goal in mind - collect the mother load of summer gear to give to one lucky fan. Beginning July 18th, MTV2’s “Mother Truckin’ Summer Contest” will begin loading up its big rig with the coolest cargo around, including contributions from stars like Fat Joe, Ciara, Black Eyed Peas, My Chemical Romance, The Killers, All American Rejects and many others. Pre-empting the regular “T-Minus Hits” series, MTV2 will present the “Mother Truckin’ Summer” countdown each weekday at 3pm ET/12pm PT beginning July 18th. Hosted by Jeremy Halsell, each episode will showcase the truck as it moves around the country adding prizes while visiting hot summer tours and celebrity hangouts.

With cargo consisting of summer items MTV2’s celebrity friends can’t do without, some of the prizes include a Vespa, band equipment, a hot tub, surfing gear, a year’s supply of Starbucks Doubleshot, a new wardrobe, Nintendo gaming packages, a European vacation, a 2006 Scion tC, and even cold, hard cash…as in $25,000 big ones. MTV2 cameras will follow Jeremy as he ventures across the country with the MTV2 big rig, finding out what people think are hot ticket items. Once the 18-wheeler is filled up with 20 goodies, Jeremy will then deliver the prizes to the hometown of one lucky winner who keeps everything in the truck.

To enter, fans are invited to visit win.MTV2.com between July 18th and August 14th. Entrants must be at least 18 years of age and legal residents of the continental United States. One winner will be selected at random. All items are new and not personal items of any artist.

MTV2’s Mother Truckin’ Summer Contest is sponsored by Starbucks Doubleshot, Scion, Nintendo, Cingular and Differin.
