00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:07,040
Ultrawide Festival 2015. Yeah, that probably doesn't mean

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:12,880
anything to you, but that's okay because it's new. But you should care about it

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,679
because LG has pulled out all the stops

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:20,480
to make this thing absolutely bananas. Like seriously, pay careful attention

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:25,039
here because they are giving away 30 34-in ultrawide monitors, very similar

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:31,199
to the one I reviewed very positively here, and three grand prize packages for

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:36,239
the lucky winners to build their dream setup. All right, so here's how to

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:42,000
apply. Create a video, 30 seconds max, before September 25th about your current

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,760
setup. We've done video contests before and I'll link some of the winners and

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,840
honorable mentions below to give you some idea of what we want to see. But if

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:56,160
there's one pro tip I can give you now, it is this. Creativity is key. You will

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,920
not win with a handheld shot of your tower and an overlaid list of specs.

13
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:04,320
Have a goofy friend come over. Make something fun and entertaining. It will

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,600
be worth it. When you're done, share it with me by tagging me at linustech on

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:13,479
Twitter or posting it in the official linest.com forum thread linked below.

16
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:18,720
Then go to www.ultrawidefestival.com and submit a

17
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,479
link to your post. I get to choose 10 of

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:29,520
those entries to take home an LG 34U87C. Yes, a curved 34in ultrawide IPS

19
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,159
display. Once that's done, each of those

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,400
people will create a video about their experience with the ultrawide. This can

21
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:40,240
be in the form of a review or something more creative. I'm not actually sure

22
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:44,240
yet. I'll communicate that with the 10 finalist directly when the time comes.

23
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,960
Once those submissions are received, I'll choose one grand prize winner. I

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,680
will work directly with that person to design his or her dream setup with a

25
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:57,040
budget of $10,000 in hardware and software. Then

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,119
I'll be sharing it on my social media channels. And finally, I'll be inviting

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:06,000
that person to come and attend a meetup and award ceremony event hosted by LG

28
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:10,879
here in Vancouver. Well, hold on a second, Lionus. You said there were 30

29
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:16,080
monitors and three grand prize packs. Yes, I did. I'm responsible for a third

30
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:20,959
of them. You can enter to win the others over at Unbox Therapy and Jehovah

31
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:25,599
Witness. So, go check out their contest announcement videos for the full

32
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,520
details. Now, keep in mind that you can only be a finalist through one of us,

33
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:35,160
but nothing prevents you from submitting separate entries for each of us. So, for

34
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,959
full contest details, visit

35
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,800
www.ultrawidefestestival.com. I really look forward to seeing your entries.
