Bearduary, the Finale

March 11, 2009

We do a lot of weird things at work.

We participate in contests that border on the ridiculous. Like the recent Bearduary contest, which spanned January and February, awarding a $50 prize to the charity of the person who grows the most inspired beard.

We judge these contests through an e-mail vote, using pictures taken by one of the participants. The contact sheets:



(The votes were counted, by the way, by another participant.)

(Not that I’m bitter over losing. I still have my beard! I’m still honoring the commitment! No one understands my plight!)

Seriously, though. It was Erik’s idea, so he gets to count. And we have a transcript of votes – 93% turnout – so everything was legit. I garnered some sympathy votes, but it was Craig’s to lose. And he didn’t. He won, in fact. So I guess it was Craig’s to win, too.

Total Votes:
Craig: 8
Chris and Joey: tied for 6
Corey (Your fearless author): 3
Erik: 2
Jason and Don: Zero. Come on. Take this seriously next time.

Obligatory Pie Graph:

We announce the award. The winner, instead of choosing a charity, donates the money to a pizza fund. Joe matches it. And a pizza party is born.

Of course, I sit at home, sick, while everyone else snacks on pizza. But, if I was there, I’d be living it up too. And that, my friends, is why working in the agency world can be pretty sweet.

You have beard growing contests that results in an online vote and a pizza party.

Naturally.

Congrats, Craig. I mean, whatever.

    I can’t help but notice that no females entered the contest. Surely someone would have thought to follow in Jason or Don’s footsteps….?
