Hasta La Ideas

Our latest UnBeige contest is now entering its final days. The prizes: fame and free iTunes downloads of the documentary we’ve been talking about since it was in pre-production: Gary Hustwit‘s Objectified (find it on iTunes here). Entering is as easy as finishing this sentence:

The most interesting object on my desk at the moment is __________.

Then snap a photo (a .jpeg, if you please) of the object and send it along with your one-sentence description to unbeige@mediabistro.com with “Contest” in the subject line. You have until industrial designer Dieter Rams‘ half-birthday—that would be this Friday, November 20—to objectify yourself. We’ll announce the three winners shortly thereafter. Remember that we’re equally enamored with the beautiful (a pristine cup of Blackfeet Indian Pencils) and the odd (that ceramic doughnut your friend brought you back from Japan), so think creatively. Because we’re working with the iTunes (US) store, we can only award downloads to U.S. residents. International readers are also welcome to enter—we’ll find something prizeworthy (read: a design book) to give you, too. Good luck!
