To show off the versatility and some of the more extreme uses of Gorillapods, I’m running a photography contest.
The winner will be sent $20 (USD, this is a British site but US dollars are a more internationally accepted currency), runners up will win my admiration, which is possibly a greater prize. It’s not a huge prize, but then there isn’t going to be much competition for you since not many people read this blog anyway.
It’s Easy to Enter
Take a photo of a Gorillapod being used in a creative/cleaver/unusual way.
Once you’ve taken your best photo of a Gorillapod in action, sent it or a link to a webpage with it to contest@gorillapods.co.uk along with your name (and optionally your website/blog/whatever) by 11/10/2009. You can still enter after that date, but voting will have already started so you’ll be at a disadvantage.
Come up with a creative use of a Gorillapod and win $20.
Voting
Once all the photos have been posted on this site, there will be a month for voting starting on the 9th of October. Anyone one coming to this site will be allowed one vote. Voters may cast their vote based on whatever criteria they decide but are encouraged to vote based on the quality of the photo, use of the Gorillapod in the image and overall… coolness.
Rules
- No overly Photoshopped images. Touch your photos up by all means, but don’t create a completely fantasy image… that’s for another time.
- The voting will close on 11th of November and the winners will be announced on November the 15th. Prizes will be sent out as soon as possible via Paypal. You may still enter the Gorillapod Photo Contest during this period, but you will be at a disadvantage since you won’t have as much time to gain votes.
- You may enter up to 4 pictures.
- Anyone suspected of unfair practices will be disqualified.
- The final say in any disagreement will be mine.
- Every photo you enter must be legally yours (you took it/have copyright permission to use it).
- By entering a photo, you are giving permission for it to be used on this website.
