I'd have never cleaned my office if I'd known I could've won prizes for it!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Back in September, I organized my office.  Seriously, I really did: I got files off the floor and banker boxes of documents put into storage and I got rid of things I never used and in general made my office about 64% more livable… but it’s still not great.

It would be great if, for example, my long credenza-like shelf/storage thing had drawers that were sized for real office purposes: the drawers on that thing come in two sizes, “too small for anything other than maybe one of those staple removers and who has to remove staples that often?” and “large enough for anything you might want to put in it but for some inexplicable reason it is only about three inches deep so whatever you put in it better be two-dimensional,” and I have almost no office supplies that are not the regular number of dimensions.

Oh, and that credenza thing doesn’t have a door on one of the cupboards, which makes it practically useless for hiding evidence, and what good is law office furniture that can’t hide evidence. (ATTENTION: ETHICAL REGULATORY AGENCY OF MY STATE BAR: IGNORE THAT LAST PART, THANKS !)

Anyway, I’m pretty happy with my office but I could be pretty happier, so the Pimp My Cube Contest couldn’t have come at a better time. 

“Pimp My Cube” is a contest from Contest Factory that’s looking for the most pathetic, messiest, worst-est cubicle or office EVER. If you’ve got terrible furniture, outdated TRS-80 computers, messy desks, disorganized files, loose wiring, dim lighting, ground-in food stains on the carpet: they want you.

All you have to do is take a video of your terrible office/cubicle and upload it to the contest, explaining on the video what makes YOUR workspace the worse, and telling Contest Factory why you need to have your space pimped out.

Then, with your video up, you invite people you know to vote for you.  The contest works (in part) on points: you get points for entering, commenting, voting, and having others sign up, and in the end, if you win you might win prize packages totaling $1,200, including

o New high end computer system
o New Desk, Chair and Decorations
o New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

The contest is wide-open: get your video now and make it fun, interesting, compelling, and horrifying to have the best chance to win.  (Even if your video doesn’t win, there’s a 2^nd chance random drawing for a $200 gift card.

The contest is open until noon on January 31, 2012, so go to the Pimp My Cube site, get registered and upload your  to enter in the contest. Then work on getting out the vote by telling people to go vote for you!
