Is your office cube (cubical) depressing you, so much so, that you hate going to work?  Well,you can change all of that, starting today! What a great way to treat yourself in the New Year!

Pimp My Cube has partnered with the Contest Factory, to offer you the Pimp My Cube Contest.  They are searching for the worst, most pathetic and gosh awful messy, cubicle or office space.  That terrible area, may have bad furniture, old technology, be messy and unorganized, noisy, dirty, dark and/or any other horrible attributes that make it a bad space to work in, or want to be in.

If this describes you or your work space, here is want you need to do:

Upload a video showing your cube(cubicle)office workspace. While you’re doing so,  explain the details about why your cube is horrible, and why it is so important that Contest Factory come in and ‘Pimp’ your cube.  Here is a sample video to spark your imagination.  It’s not hard to do.

Once you’ve completed and entered your video, then invite your friends, family and coworkers to vote for your video.

How it works is YOU get sweepstakes entry points for registering, voting, commenting and inviting others to register for the contest, and also vote for your video.

The grand prize of your cube being the one ‘pimped’ will be selected by CF (Contest Factory) judges. The decision will be based on various criteria, including the most votes, best (really the worst workspace) video and the most compelling story.

 The “Pimp My Cube,” contest has a total grand prize value of approximately $1200.

The Prize is to update your office workspace cubical with one of three  following prize packages:

 New high end computer system
 New Desk, Chair and Decorations – to make your cube a more pleasant space
 New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

As of Right NOW, no one has uploaded a video yet, so YOUR chances of winning are very good. Time to get busy on that video!

It’s  easy to upload your video to the site and enter from your phone or webcam.

Your video should be fun and witty – anything goes!! The better the story, the funnier the video , the better YOUR chances are of winning.  Visit the PMC site here at the link above. Then register and upload your video to enter in the contest.  Be sure to have your friends and family vote for your video, to enhance YOUR chances of winning.

There is also a second sweepstakes prize of a $200 gift card, that will be awarded to the registered user, chosen by random drawing at the end of the contest period, which is from 12/5/11 at 12:00 PM to 1/31/12 at 12:00 PM.

Best of luck on YOUR video entry.  Have fun, and make yourself the winner of the “Pimp My Cube” Contest!

This is just a fun little look at Santa’s not so green, and kinda bad behaviors. I wanted to pass along this fun holiday infographic that was recently produced for Ethical Ocean: Santa’s Carbon Footprint.  While there, just click on What’s Santa’s Carbon Footprint, to expand the page. The graphic takes a close look at Santa’s non-green behaviors, and how he too can adopt a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.

At Ethical Ocean, they all know that with the end of December quickly approaching, Santa is busy getting everything set for his worldwide tour. The boots he has to fill sure can, and do leave a large footprint behind. So, they took a look at Santa’s environmental impact, and tried to see if they could help him run a slightly more eco-friendly operation. This is what they came up with.  Enjoy, and feel free to comment!  🙂
