Ultrawide Festival 2015. Yeah, that probably doesn't mean
0:05
anything to you, but that's okay because it's new. But you should care about it
0:09
because LG has pulled out all the stops
0:12
to make this thing absolutely bananas. Like seriously, pay careful attention
0:17
here because they are giving away 30 34-in ultrawide monitors, very similar
0:22
to the one I reviewed very positively here, and three grand prize packages for
0:28
the lucky winners to build their dream setup. All right, so here's how to
0:33
apply. Create a video, 30 seconds max, before September 25th about your current
0:39
setup. We've done video contests before and I'll link some of the winners and
0:44
honorable mentions below to give you some idea of what we want to see. But if
0:47
there's one pro tip I can give you now, it is this. Creativity is key. You will
0:53
not win with a handheld shot of your tower and an overlaid list of specs.
0:58
Have a goofy friend come over. Make something fun and entertaining. It will
1:01
be worth it. When you're done, share it with me by tagging me at linustech on
1:06
Twitter or posting it in the official linest.com forum thread linked below.
1:11
Then go to www.ultrawidefestival.com and submit a
1:15
link to your post. I get to choose 10 of
1:18
those entries to take home an LG 34U87C. Yes, a curved 34in ultrawide IPS
1:26
display. Once that's done, each of those
1:29
people will create a video about their experience with the ultrawide. This can
1:34
be in the form of a review or something more creative. I'm not actually sure
1:38
yet. I'll communicate that with the 10 finalist directly when the time comes.
1:42
Once those submissions are received, I'll choose one grand prize winner. I
1:47
will work directly with that person to design his or her dream setup with a
1:51
budget of $10,000 in hardware and software. Then
1:55
I'll be sharing it on my social media channels. And finally, I'll be inviting
1:58
that person to come and attend a meetup and award ceremony event hosted by LG
2:03
here in Vancouver. Well, hold on a second, Lionus. You said there were 30
2:08
monitors and three grand prize packs. Yes, I did. I'm responsible for a third
2:13
of them. You can enter to win the others over at Unbox Therapy and Jehovah
2:18
Witness. So, go check out their contest announcement videos for the full
2:22
details. Now, keep in mind that you can only be a finalist through one of us,
2:27
but nothing prevents you from submitting separate entries for each of us. So, for
2:31
full contest details, visit
2:35
www.ultrawidefestestival.com. I really look forward to seeing your entries.
