Deadline: 07 June 2009
LG Mobile Phones is partnering with crowdSPRING, an online marketplace for creative services, and Autodesk to hold a new competition to define the future of personal mobile communication.
Starting immediately, U.S. residents age 18 and over can have a chance to design their vision of the next revolutionary LG mobile phone and compete for more than $80,000 in awards.
This year’s competition is even bigger and better than last year’s with first place awarded $20,000, second place awarded $10,000 and third place awarded $5,000. And to reward as many people as possible in the name of creativity, LG will be giving out a whopping 40 honorable mentions of $1,000 plus an LG U.S. phone.
“We’re very excited about this competition because it gives consumers, professionals, students and design enthusiasts all a chance to exercise their creative imaginations and have their ideas be heard. You don’t have to work for LG to make an impact on the future of mobile phones,” said Ehtisham Rabbani, V.P. of product strategy and marketing for LG Electronics MobileComm, U.S.A, Inc.
Autodesk will supply participating designers with a free 15-day trial of SketchBook Pro, a digital sketchpad. A paint and drawing application for use on the Mac or PC, SketchBook Pro offers an intuitive, streamlined user interface so even new users can be productive within minutes. The 15-day trial will give all competitors access to industry-leading professional design software and levels the playing field for professional and amateur designers alike to create the phone of their dreams.
Both seasoned and aspiring designers can submit their entries until 7 June 2009 at www.crowdspring.com/LG..
