The Guildmaster Amazing Race moves into its final few weeks with an international theme in showroom activities during October High Point Furniture Market.

Buyers who place an order at Guildmaster at Market will be entered into multiple drawings throughout the day to win travel gear such as binoculars, translators, first aid kits, travel cases and more. Episodes of The Amazing Race reality television show along with other travel videos detailing the hottest spots to visit in the biggest fashion capitals of the world also will be featured.
 
"The theme of The Guildmaster Amazing Race will be evident in the showroom," said Steve Crowder, CEO of GuildMaster. "This is truly a dream trip around the world for one retailer and one sales representative. We want dealers and designers to relax and unwind, and envision themselves en route to Barcelona as the possible first stop on their trip of a lifetime."
 
To identify the favorite cities, Guildmaster on Tour Facebook fans are invited to name their chosen cities and post photos on the Guildmaster Facebook Page. The leading cities to date are: Sydney, Barcelona, Rome, Moscow, Monaco, Bora Bora, Amsterdam, Milan, Buenos Aires, Zanzibar and the Shanhai Pass in China where part of the Great Wall is located. GuildMaster's Facebook fans are encouraged to keep those suggestions coming.
 
The GuildMaster Amazing Race ends Friday, Nov. 19. The rules are simple: For each $1,000 in product purchased by a retailer or sold by a sales representative, one entry is earned so that the chance to win increases with the value of the orders. The contest ends when five finalists in each group are pulled from the entries. The following week, on Nov. 25, one winner in each group will be drawn from the five finalists and GuildMaster CEO Steve Crowder will personally deliver the news to the winning retailer and sales representative. Each of the winners will receive either two tickets for a dream trip around the world visiting nine cities, or $10,000.
 
"Right now, the race is pretty competitive with several reps and dealers who have earned quite a few entries into the contest," Crowder said. "But, it's anybody's guess whose name will be pulled. There's still time to earn an entry--and it only takes one to win. Additional entries of course increase the odds of winning. We hope some new dealers step up and put their name into the hat during the upcoming Market to win our Amazing Race."
