LG Mobile & CrowdSpring: an $80,000 Prosumer contest
We’ve mentioned CrowdSpring a few times on this site – I introduced it on May 23rd, 2008, summarized an interview with the founders on June 13th, talked about my own great experience with them on December 9th, and Alex recently brought them up again in his post – is spec work evil? It’s a fascinating company that plays directly in the prosumer space, and I’m sure the philisophical and economic debate about these types of platforms will continue for many years.
But I thought I’d bring them up again because they sent me an email (because I’m kind of a big deal I’m on their email distribution list as a past buyer) about a very cool contest – LG Mobile Phones has opened a “Design the Future” competition, with more than $80,000 in rewards for people that can come up with the most “revolutionary” LG mobile phone designs. You can find all the details about it here – and join the competition if you’d like, as long as you are American. I’m hoping they have a similar, less ambitious, and more self-depreciating for us Canadians in the near future
