Ultrawide Festival 2015. Yeah, that probably doesn't mean
anything to you, but that's okay because it's new. But you should care about it
because LG has pulled out all the stops
to make this thing absolutely bananas. Like seriously, pay careful attention
here because they are giving away 30 34-in ultrawide monitors, very similar
to the one I reviewed very positively here, and three grand prize packages for
the lucky winners to build their dream setup. All right, so here's how to
apply. Create a video, 30 seconds max, before September 25th about your current
setup. We've done video contests before and I'll link some of the winners and
honorable mentions below to give you some idea of what we want to see. But if
there's one pro tip I can give you now, it is this. Creativity is key. You will
not win with a handheld shot of your tower and an overlaid list of specs.
Have a goofy friend come over. Make something fun and entertaining. It will
be worth it. When you're done, share it with me by tagging me at linustech on
Twitter or posting it in the official linest.com forum thread linked below.
Then go to www.ultrawidefestival.com and submit a
link to your post. I get to choose 10 of
those entries to take home an LG 34U87C. Yes, a curved 34in ultrawide IPS
display. Once that's done, each of those
people will create a video about their experience with the ultrawide. This can
be in the form of a review or something more creative. I'm not actually sure
yet. I'll communicate that with the 10 finalist directly when the time comes.
Once those submissions are received, I'll choose one grand prize winner. I
will work directly with that person to design his or her dream setup with a
budget of $10,000 in hardware and software. Then
I'll be sharing it on my social media channels. And finally, I'll be inviting
that person to come and attend a meetup and award ceremony event hosted by LG
here in Vancouver. Well, hold on a second, Lionus. You said there were 30
monitors and three grand prize packs. Yes, I did. I'm responsible for a third
of them. You can enter to win the others over at Unbox Therapy and Jehovah
Witness. So, go check out their contest announcement videos for the full
details. Now, keep in mind that you can only be a finalist through one of us,
but nothing prevents you from submitting separate entries for each of us. So, for
full contest details, visit
www.ultrawidefestestival.com. I really look forward to seeing your entries.
