Win the unCOMMON:Stories KINDLE!
Posted by sio on July 25, 2012, midnight
We asked ourselves a question : what could actually make unCOMMON:stories even more awesome than it actually is?
To answer this question, we hired the most talented professionals in the field : scientist, mathematician, researchers, sociologists and a monkey.
After weeks of intense research, we finally found a solution.
Our loyal team of experts stated: "There's just ONE way to bring the experience of reading unCOMMON:stories to the next level. Reading it on a Kindle®". The monkey, however, just kept jumping and screaming "banana" while throwing shit bullets all around the room. We fired the monkey. Useless monkey.
So, free Kindles® for everyone! Yeeeeeeeeee!
NO.
But free Kindle® for one of you: YES.
Now that we're entering the last week of the fund raising, the unCOMMON:CONTEST gets really serious? Did I say serious? I meant SUPERSERIOUS!
Starting from today, Wednesday July 25th until the end of the fund raising (Tuesday July 31st at 23.59) among all the new donator we'll randomly pick a MAGIC ONE (a.k.a. LUCKY) that will receive a free Kindle® along with his rewards. SHABAAAAM! Happy now? Huh? Huh?
And what about people who already donated? Can't they also have a chance to win a Kindle®? NO.
Bazinga! Of course they can.
For all those who already donated, you'll just have to increase the amount of the donation you've already made for a minimum of 5€ to magically become eligible for the free Kindle® too!
How will we randomly choose the winner? Pff.
We decided to go for very technological and scientific methods : once the fund raising will be over, we'll write all the names of the eligible donators on pieces of paper, put them in a bowl and pick one. And we'll shoot a video of this thing. And broadcast it LIVE STREAMING. And then put it on Youtube. And we'll also give you a t-shirt with all the frames of that video.
No, we won't do the t-shirt thing. I'm sorry.
Long story short, it's the last week, we're aiming for the 500% goal but we're crazy and we want to give you a free Kindle®.
Don't forget this is because we want to reach the goal, in order to be able to create the unCOMMON:Experience and get even more stories to everyone (see previous post)!!!
Don't miss this chance.
Keep on sharing the project!
