2010 Dead String Contest
YoYoNation is proud to sponsor Kitty String’s 2010 Dead String Contest!
For those who haven’t participated before, the Dead String Contest was founded to encourage players to think about the waste produced by discarding used strings, and about the environment in general; similar in part to the Cones to Balls project.
From Hiro at Kitty String: “Most of the Player after the Strings cannot be used anymore they just throw it in a trash. That’s why I came up with this Contest for us to keep our surroundings clean and to make those Dead Strings still useful in this kind of Contest. Those collected String are combined to our Dead String Ball. Which we are rolling the Used String to make a Gigantic Dead String ball.”
So instead of throwing away your used strings, save them up and send them to Kitty String by the deadline of September 1st, with the people who send in the most string (by weight) winning the prizes. For full contest details check out Kitty String’s website. Exact prizes are still TBD, but we’ll update here as soon as they’ve been announced.
