Want to win a Sack Chair? Well … how about 5 of them? Or maybe you want to win one of the highly-coveted MoreThanDodgeball.com T-Shirts? We’ve got a new contest here on the blog that will run the entire month of August – and these prizes let you know that whatever it takes to enter is definitely worth it:
GRAND PRIZE: 5 Sack Chairs for your church youth room
2nd PLACE: 1 Sack Chair and a MTDB T-shirt
10 RUNNERS-UP: a MTDB T-Shirt
All you have to do is post a video on YouTube demonstrating just how bad you want a few Sack Chairs in your youth room. Creativity counts! It could be a person simply making the case to a web-camera, a full-on music video or whatever you think will make the judges pick you. Just make sure you put the URL “sackchairs.com” somewhere in your video and description and leave a comment here in this post with a link to your video.
I’ll announce a panelist of judges in the coming days. So grab the camera and go!

@josh – there’s no limit, but I’m assuming you’ll want to put all of your energy in 1 or 2?

You may ask, just how bad we want the sackchairs for our youth room. Well, just watch our video and you’ll see. We’ll stick our heads into toilets and eat turds several times, that’s how bad we want them.
@Eli … oh wow … [speechless]

Hey Josh, what exactly does “description” refer to in the video rules? Are we describing what the video is about? Are we describing what sackchairs are? Both? Neither? Just need a little clarification. Thanks
Here is our video! Even if we dont when we had a blast making it and I had just moved here as the new youth pastor the week before we make the video.

“Submission” is more than just a touchy subject around pastors’ wives…

Consider me in the contest. Here is our link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfA4kprYgho
I know it is kinda long, but when you depend on 8th graders to make the video for you, this is what you get. Thanks!
I’m in…here is my semi-professional entry. Hope you like it.

Josh,
A tough job for you. There are a lot of great videos. Congrats to everyone from Indiana.
I thought we had until midnight! Can I still get mine in?
Ok, here is our entry. This is my first foray into YouTube video creation so I hope this works. If not, email me.
I guess that didn’t work. Try this.
