Our Biggest Contest Ever!!
It’s time for another contest - this time with some truly amazing prizes! There will be three winners, and I will start by telling you about the goodies, which will be generously donated by tokidoki themselves.
FIRST PLACE PRIZE: a limited edition tokidoki for Mikasa soccer ball (only 1,000 of these balls are being made) and the THREE newest tokidoki skate decks.
SECOND PLACE PRIZE: a limited edition tokidoki for Mikasa soccer ball and a signed poster.
THIRD PLACE PRIZE: a limited edition tokidoki for Mikasa soccer ball.
So what do you need to do to enter? Create either a YouTube video* or a photograph** that explains what you would do with the tokidoki soccer ball if you win one. The top 3 most creative videos/photos will win the prizes listed above. Comment on this post to let me know that you plan to enter, and then submit your entries via e-mail to tokidokiblog@gmail.com. I will then forward the entries on to tokidoki, who will be judging the contest.
If you’re feeling a little creatively challenged, I’ll start you off with an idea: your entry could for instance show a unique way that you would put the ball on display in your home.
The deadline for entries is Thursday, June 26th at 11:59pm EST. Winners will be announced on Friday, June 27th as soon as tokidoki sends me the results.
*Need to know how to make a YouTube video? Learn how here!
**Each person’s submission(s) will count collectively as a single entry, but there is no limit to the number of uses for the ball that you may think up. If this means sending in multiple photos or videos then by all means go for it.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
We can only make it one way of what we would do with the ball? Or can we show off many ways of what we can do with the ball?
June 19th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Each person’s submission(s) will count as a single entry, but there is no limit to the number of uses for the ball that you may think up - if you can think of many uses for it, then by all means show all of them off!
June 19th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Ohh!! ^____^! I am so excited for this!
Also there’s no video time limit is there? Or is it the Youtube time limit (which I think is 10 minutes..)
June 19th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Awesome! I think it is exciting too!
For the videos, the maximum time limit is indeed the YouTube limit of 10 minutes. However from a judge’s perspective, shorter is better because I’m sure there will be quite a few to watch… 10 minutes x 100 videos = nearly 17 hours of videos. Try to keep the length down to a minute or two unless your content is absolutely riveting.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Stephanie, you can count me in!
I have a really good idea for the video!
Just need to figure out when I have the time to do it.
To clarify, you want us to post it on YouTube first, and then send you the link?
June 19th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Jamie - Yes indeed!
June 19th, 2008 at 1:32 pm

Could be good to see all proposal in this post.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:44 am
Just wondering…does it have to be about what you would do with the ball or can it just be a video that has to do with the ball? Thanks!
June 20th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Question—can the picture be photomanipulated a bit? :]
June 20th, 2008 at 10:23 am
lyssa - It has to be about what you would do with the ball.
Shuu - Sure!
June 20th, 2008 at 10:48 am
I would love to do something =D
June 20th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
I just submitted my entry already to you just now….. I hope you like it….. I assume there is no limit on how many pictures you can send in is there…..I ask this because I definitely have more then one idea…. Check your mailbox for my entry….. I wonder if I was the firrst to submit one……
June 20th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Ok I am going for it. It doesn’t hurt trying it out that way If I loose I can say atleast I tried ^_^. I hope everyone has fun with this!!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Don - I got your entry (yes it was the first), and it is FANTASTIC! I love it! You can submit as many others as you like too (but, they will all count as a single entry for yourself).
June 20th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
hey steph, would be possible to see the other entries and/or their links? i know the vids are on YouTube, but direct links would help ‘cuz there’s tons of Toki vids. we can root for each other and make comments!
June 20th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
..0_o
so basically are we suppose to make a vid/photo using any plain ball?
….like a video of someone playing with a ball or something?
mmm….
June 20th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
GOOOAAAALLLL!! I’m going to be entering ^____^
June 20th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
so could i make a photo collage that is a youtube video?
June 20th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
I will be entering!
tokidoki-blog - I think you should add in the post that we can submit multiple photographs (and obviously only be eligible to win once). I’ve been thinking for a while now about which of my ideas to use but it’s a relief now that I can execute more than one!
Just a friendly suggestion!
Can we send in video in addition to our photograph(s)?
Hypothetically, can we send in multiple videos?
June 20th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Tara d. - Let me consider that… I might want to wait until next Friday.
keely - The objective is to make a video or take a photo of what you would do with the tokidoki soccer ball if you won it. If that involves using a plain ball, that’s totally cool, but no ball is required. You can also Photoshop a picture of the tokidoki ball in if you wish.
Joslyn - Yes, if you wish.
Krisha - I will edit the OP with the multiple photos info. As far as sending in multiple entries goes, use your judgment. A single spectacular entry is better than 10 so-so entries, but if you have a bunch of spectacular ones and can’t decide which to use, then by all means send everything. Don for instance has already sent in quite a few great ones.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
I’m planning to enter the contest. I’ll do my every best. ^_^

June 22nd, 2008 at 10:12 pm

June 23rd, 2008 at 2:06 pm
[…] a reminder that we are at the halfway point for submitting contest entries - make sure to get them in by Thursday, June 26th at 11:59pm […]
June 24th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Tokidoki Blog - How are you going to judge if someone enters more than one video/photo to make it fair to people who enter just one???
June 24th, 2008 at 10:51 am
TJ - “Each person’s submission(s) will count collectively as a single entry.” And of course, quality will win over quantity.
June 24th, 2008 at 10:54 am
ok thanks
June 25th, 2008 at 5:10 pm

Good luck to everyone - there were some really AWESOME entries!
June 27th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
ooh ooh verrryyy exciting!!
June 28th, 2008 at 1:21 am
Hopefully we hear the results tomorrow!!
June 28th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Ahh I can’t wait to hear the results too!
How many entries were there in this contest?
June 28th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
wow, there must have been a lot of good entries if its taking them so long to decide…
June 29th, 2008 at 12:20 am
lyssa - I know, right?? I periodically check my e-mail and the blog just to see if there has been any progress with the decision, with no such luck. :oP
I wanted to see what other people have submitted, so I’ve been searching YouTube for ‘tokidoki soccer’ and I’ve only found three other videos besides mine…so there must have been lots of picture entries, or I’m just using different search words.
June 29th, 2008 at 1:51 am
I like how the videos so far I’ve seen has incorporated some video game antics :D!
June 29th, 2008 at 1:55 am
a lot of people probably hid their youtube name videos as I did.
=)
just letting you know.
June 29th, 2008 at 8:54 am
I entered pictures…. Like they say “One picture is worth a thousand words” …
I believe that the reason it is taking so long for a decision is that the entries were sent to them on a Friday and by the time they received them the business day was over…. And I then believe that no one would be watching thses or let’s say working on Saturday and Sunday….. So I am not looking for any results until at least Monday evening or Tuesday at the earliest…. If the judging is in California it would also be later to me since I live on the East Coast in Maryland…. So, I am just chilling since it is out of my hands anyway and will see the results when they are posted….
June 29th, 2008 at 11:12 am
DON - I sent the entries to them before 8am California time on Friday, so I am not sure what the hold up is. Sorry everyone, hang in there, and I will post the results as soon as I get word back.
June 29th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
*_* the suspense
June 30th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Hang in there everyone. We are almost finished! There were so many awesome submissions that it took a little longer than some expected but soooooooo worth the wait.. right!! :>)
June 30th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Excellent! Can’t wait to hear the results!!
June 30th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
