Ventrilo, the premier group voice communication program used in tournaments and multiplayer games, is sponsoring QuakeCon 2013’s sixth annual "Ultimate Power Up Sweepstakes." As part of the sweepstakes, two lucky winners will receive a 2013 Ford Focus ST with the ST3 option package, valued at more than $29,000 each. QuakeCon, which is free to the public, will be held at the Hilton Anatole Hotel from August 1- 4, 2013.

The 2013 Ford Focus ST with the ST3 option package comes equipped with a 6-speed transmission, 252 horsepower engine with a full tech package including heated leather seats, HID headlamps, 8′ navigation system, push button start and Ford SYNC technology. The two Ford Focus STs, one in Performance Blue and the other in Race Red, will be on display in the main exhibition area throughout the event.

"Almost two decades into QuakeCon, it’s amazing to see fans come out to support our titles with such passion. It’s great to work with the fine folks at Ventrilo to give back to the community with an amazing prize package," said Tim Willits, Creative Director at id Software.

"Just like QuakeCon itself, Ventrilo’s group voice communications technology has been connecting people together for more than a decade," said Brian Knapp, President of Ventrilo. "We think that the ‘Ultimate Power Up’ giveaway will be yet another reason why QuakeCon 2013 will be one of the best gaming events of the year."

The ‘Ultimate Power Up’ winner will be randomly selected at 9:30pm CST on Saturday, August 3, as part of the tournament finals event on the QuakeCon Main Stage. A total of 100 coveted tickets for both 2013 Ford Focus STs will be awarded to attendees throughout each day of the show through QuakeCon contests, random drawings, and other events.

QuakeCon is now in its 18th year and will once again host North America’s largest BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) LAN party, with thousands of gamers connecting their systems to play on a world-class network. The event is free to general admission and BYOC attendees thanks to the support of id Software and Bethesda Softworks, as well as the QuakeCon volunteer staff and the 2013 event sponsors and exhibitors. Doors to the QuakeCon BYOC will open on Thursday, August 1 at 9:00am CST and will remain open through 12:00pm CST on Sunday, August 4.
