Whats That Cool Thing on Your Desk? Tell Us and Get Objectified
Posted in: Uncategorized
Halloween has passed, which our local CVS emporium interprets as a signal to bust out the Santa hats and dreidel cookies, frosted in a most fetching shade of blue. We’re getting into the holiday spirit with a contest. 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; we’ve posted the trailer after the jump). Entering is as easy as looking around your desk. Just complete 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 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. The UnBeige legal team reminds us that 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!
