Embrace Your Geekness Day 2017

/by

 

Next Thursday (7/13) is Embrace Geekness Day and to celebrate we are holding a social media contest. Show and tell us how you embrace geekness and you will be entered to win a Geek Prize Pack.

To enter, post a photo and description showing how you embrace geekness to Kramden’s Facebook page or post a photo on Instagram or twitter and tag @kramden. Don’t forget to include #embracegeekness in your post.

Remember, being a geek isn’t necessarily about loving computers. Geek icon Wil Wheaton put it best when he said “It’s not about what you love. It’s about how you love it.”  Show us how you pursue your passion, whether it’s video games, playing trumpet, or even knitting socks.

For Wil Wheaton’s full speech, watch the video.

Here are some creative “Embrace Geekness” Ideas:

  • Take a picture with a geeky shirt/coffee mug/item of any kind
  • Show off your collection of the items that allow you to pursue your passion (instruments, outdoor gear, video game consoles, etc.)
  • Take a photo of a geeky creation you’re proud of making.

Official Rules:

  • Promotion Description: “Embrace Your Geekness” Competition (“Giveaway”) will run from July 5, 2017 until July 13, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

  • Eligibility: In order for a participant’s entry to be deemed eligible, the participant must be a resident of the U.S. or Canada, and must be at least 13 years old. Posts must be posted to Kramden’s Facebook wall with #EmbraceGeekness, or tag @Kramden and be tagged with #EmbraceGeekness on Instagram or Twitter. All entries must showcase a way in which the poster is embracing geekness. If there are any entries that have disputable eligibility, Kramden will make the final decision about whether the participant is eligible and the decision is non-negotiable. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.
  • Ineligible Entries: Any entries from ineligible participants (those who are not 13 or older/those who are not residents of the U.S. or Canada) will immediately be discounted for prize selection by Kramden.

By submitting an entry, all participants provide Kramden permission to use their name in the announcement/post. The winner has 48 hours to respond to Kramden’s status announcement, blog post, or private Facebook message, to claim their prize. If the winner does not claim it within this timeframe, Kramden will select another winner. The winner will need to either pick up their prize from the Kramden office in Durham, NC, or privately provide a shipping address to Kramden for the prize to be mailed. Please allow 30 days for shipping.
