The contest is now closed.
Courtesy of Microsoft, we have an 80 GB Zune to give away, along with 3 webcams. Here’s how to win.
In the comments below, please describe one or more of the PodCamp Boston 3 sponsors with the wittiest, snappiest, most relevant description you can come up with in 140 characters or less.
Example:
mDialog: showing just how flawed your makeup is in super high quality video!
Winners will be chosen by a panel of sponsors’ representatives and awarded on Sunday afternoon at the wrapup. You do not need to be present to win, but you will be responsible for shipping and handling (approximately US$20) if you can’t claim your prize in person.
Sponsor judges are ineligible to compete.
The sponsors of PodCamp Boston 3 are located on the right hand side of the web site.
