Pimp My Cube Contest

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

A friend of mine tells an interesting experience. He rated it as the most disgusting hotel room he has ever been in. He booked this online and was not expecting fancy accommodations - but the filth level in this room was frightening. There was not a surface that wasn't covered in stains. He was afraid to sit on the bed or chair, so he sat on the floor while he called his online travel agent to find another hotel. Bad move, the carpet may have been worse than any other surface. After getting the run around from his travel agent and numerous disconnects he just left. He can't imagine the illness and bedbugs he would have brought home had he stayed there.   The gentleman at the front desk was pleasant and did not seem at all surprised that he was leaving.

I thought that hotel he visited is eligible for the Pimp My Cube Contest.  Pimp My Cube is searching for the worst, most pathetic and messy cubicle or office that may have bad furniture, old technology, messy, unorganized, noisy, dirty, and dark and/or any other attributes that make it a bad space to work in.

They want you to upload a video showing your cube/office/workspace while you explain the details about why it is horrible and why it is so important that Contest Factory come in and ‘Pimp’ your cube.

Once your video is entered, you invite your friends, family and coworkers to vote for your video.  You get sweepstakes entry points for registering, voting, commenting and inviting others to register for the contest.  The grand prize of your cube being ‘pimped’ will be selected by CF judges based on various criteria including for the most votes, best (really worst) video and most compelling story.

The contest has a total grand prize value of approximately $1200.  Prize is to update your office/workspace/cube with one of three prize packages:

• New high end computer system
• New Desk, Chair and Decorations
• New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

Right now only a few has uploaded a video so the chances of winning are very good.  It is easy to upload video to the site to enter from your phone or webcam. Video should be fun and witty – anything goes!!  The better the story, the funnier the video – better chances of winning.

A second sweepstakes prize of a $200 gift card will be awarded to the registered user chosen by random drawing at the end of the contest period.

The contest period is from 12/5/11 at 12:00 PM to 1/31/12 at 12:00 PM.
