Party with Us at SXSW + Win Stuffs
UPDATE: Contest ended 3/20/11 at 11:59pm PT. Congrats to Top 5 “Most Scanned Bands“, prizes to be announced shortly.
Seems like everybody and their mother is hustling to show off at SXSW. Well, we’re no exception, but at least we’re trying to be sorta cool about it, lol.
The Shindig: Official ShareSquare Day Party
Swing by on Friday the 18th for some of that good mid-afternoon sauce and soothing sound sensations from the likes of SHIROCK, The Bridges & Amy Stroup. If you check the details on the flyer above you’ll notice they’re all pretty easy on the eyes too.
Fellow block-rocking startup Earbits is co-hosting, and in addition to the all the schwag, they’ll be handing out some vintage vinyls. Cheers to new super best friends The Movement Group for basically doing all the work and slapping our name on top.
The Contest: Become SXSW’s “Most Scanned Band”
So we got this slick new homepage and at the bottom you’ll see we’re keeping score of good times happening via ShareSquare QR codes. You can click thru to check out this leaderboard:
Starting right meow and ending at 11:59pm PST on March 20, we’ll be highlighting the ShareSquares at SXSW that get the most scans. When the dust settles, the top 5 will be crowned the “Most Scanned Bands” and receive the opulence that comes with it. The fame: bonus press on Hypebot and do512.com. The fortune: a ShareSquare package worth $6000.
But “Wait” you say, “everything on ShareSquare is currently free - does this mean you’ll soon have some groin-grabbingly awesome premium features? Perhaps also opening up to the public?”
Coarse, but yes.
If you’re using ShareSquare at SXSW, be sure to opt-in on the top of your account’s dashboard to participate. Also, the contest isn’t restricted to artists (despite the name); there’s a few flicks at SXSW Film and startups from Interactive competing with their ShareSquares as well. (Check out our guest post on Mashable to learn more how everybody is getting in on the action.)
Good luck to everyone, though if someone finds a way to play dirty please tell me so I can shake their hand. If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying hard enough, I say. See y’all at the party, drinks is on the house.
