Ultrawide Festival 2015. Yeah, that probably doesn't mean

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

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:15.679
because LG has pulled out all the stops

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:20.480
to make this thing absolutely bananas. Like seriously, pay careful attention

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:25.039
here because they are giving away 30 34-in ultrawide monitors, very similar

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:31.199
to the one I reviewed very positively here, and three grand prize packages for

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:36.239
the lucky winners to build their dream setup. All right, so here's how to

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:42.000
apply. Create a video, 30 seconds max, before September 25th about your current

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.760
setup. We've done video contests before and I'll link some of the winners and

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.840
honorable mentions below to give you some idea of what we want to see. But if

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

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:59.920
not win with a handheld shot of your tower and an overlaid list of specs.

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:04.320
Have a goofy friend come over. Make something fun and entertaining. It will

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

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:13.479
Twitter or posting it in the official linest.com forum thread linked below.

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:18.720
Then go to www.ultrawidefestival.com and submit a

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.479
link to your post. I get to choose 10 of

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:29.520
those entries to take home an LG 34U87C. Yes, a curved 34in ultrawide IPS

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.159
display. Once that's done, each of those

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.400
people will create a video about their experience with the ultrawide. This can

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:40.240
be in the form of a review or something more creative. I'm not actually sure

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.240
yet. I'll communicate that with the 10 finalist directly when the time comes.

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.960
Once those submissions are received, I'll choose one grand prize winner. I

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.680
will work directly with that person to design his or her dream setup with a

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:57.040
budget of $10,000 in hardware and software. Then

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:01.119
I'll be sharing it on my social media channels. And finally, I'll be inviting

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:06.000
that person to come and attend a meetup and award ceremony event hosted by LG

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:10.879
here in Vancouver. Well, hold on a second, Lionus. You said there were 30

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:16.080
monitors and three grand prize packs. Yes, I did. I'm responsible for a third

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:20.959
of them. You can enter to win the others over at Unbox Therapy and Jehovah

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:25.599
Witness. So, go check out their contest announcement videos for the full

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:29.520
details. Now, keep in mind that you can only be a finalist through one of us,

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:35.160
but nothing prevents you from submitting separate entries for each of us. So, for

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.959
full contest details, visit

00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:40.800
www.ultrawidefestestival.com. I really look forward to seeing your entries.
