Ikea: Break the rules bed making

05Mar07

Ikea and Shycast have teamed up to have a contest about making your bed. Applicants can submit a video under five minutes that shows a creative or different way that they make their bed. The grand prize is a $5,000 gift certificate to Ikea. As far as I can tell, videos are rated by the public, and the one with the most votes wins the grand prize. I was pretty surprised by just how lame the top three videos were. It seems like anyone with a little creativity and a video camera could easily take the lead.

See the videos at Shycast.

    Oh, woops. I made one. But it was only up for a day or two, and I didn’t even make it into the top ten! (of only 16 or so entries). So, it’s still on their site, but not eligible for the prizes.

    [...] good friend Bryon took the challenge to make a decent video for the Shycast “Break the rules of bedmaking” contest. Unfortunately it looks like he got his entry in a little too late, because there [...]
