Quirky Thumbthreadz Offers Cash Prizes To Students, Schools

Online, December 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Area middle and high school kids around the country are being asked to don their creative thinking caps as well as a pair of a brand new and wholly quirky, digit-wrapping accessory, ThumbThreadz, in a quest to create a promotional video that could earn both them and their schools a quick $1000, or $5000 should the effort go viral producing more than 500,000 hits on YouTube.

Designed to adorn one of evolution's landmark achievements and now texting-requisite fingers - the thumb - the makers of ThumbThreadz have launched a contest in which they're hoping to discover a youth conceived-and-produced video that showcases the product in a fresh, fun way.

"We like the way kids see the world and we saw this as an opportunity to get their original take on our product and to give back to the schools in the hopes that artistic and inventive achievement is encouraged and rewarded," says ThumbThreadz Partner, Scott Christian. "They're our society's texting and video pioneers so we figured, who better to ask than them?"

The contest rules are simple. Teams and individuals register at www.thumbthreadz.com, where they'll receive five (5) free pairs of ThumbThreadz to use in their video. Per person entries are not limited but each must contain the word www.ThumbThreadz.com written within the video. Each video must be uploaded to www.youtube.com and tagged with thumbthreadz2011 as soon as completed.

The contestant whose video attracts the most hits and garners the No.1 views by April 30th, 2011 will receive the $1000 cash prize as will their school. Videos that earn more than 500,000 hits will up their winning to $5000.

A handful of designs with names like Rainbow Shimmer and Splatter Paint are available to address one's unique style sensibilities. ThumbThreadz retail for $2.99 per pair or $1.50 per pair for orders greater than 50 units. More information is available at www.thumbthreadz.com or by calling Christian at 720.837.5383.
