The Name Game

If you watched our GleeDitty video, then you know we’ve been thinking about changing the name of our gDitty product prototype. After hearing lots of input from kids and parents, scribbling on thousands of sticky notes, and considering hundreds of possibilities (everything from meego to raskle to zamogo), we’ve finally decided!

Now, if you can guess what it is, you could win a (very rare) HopeLab t-shirt. Read on for contest details!

Here’s how it works:

Starting Friday, May 7, we’ll be posting photos to our Facebook page that each contain a letter in our new product name. After all six photos are posted (there’s your first clue!) and you’ve identified the letters, just put them together, and you’ll have the name. To win, be one of the first five people to email us the correct name. It’s that simple!

Some Details:
1. If you want to participate, you must first “like” us on Facebook (in old-school terms, you must be a “fan” of ours on Facebook). If you don’t already like us, just click the thumbs up button at the top of our page.

2. On Friday May 7, we’ll post one photo every hour on our Facebook Page, beginning at 9 AM PST. The last photo will be posted at 2 PM PST on Friday, May 7. The contest will close at 5 PM PST, Friday, May 7.

3. The first five people to email us at communications@hopelab.org before 5 PM PST with the correct answer will win a special HopeLab t-shirt. (I don’t even have a HopeLab t-shirt!)

4. Winners will be announced Friday May 7 after 5 PM PST via a Facebook Page post.

5. We won’t offer hints or clues other than the photos, but as members of the HopeLab community, you can reach out to each other by posting comments on the photo to ask each other questions, make comments, source others for help. HopeLab employees, vendors and partners are not able to participate (sorry, folks – only fair!).

6. For links to contest clues, search Twitter for the #hopelab hashtag.

7. The letters are presented in order.

So be sure to wear your thinking caps on Friday! Should be fun. And be on the lookout for a blog post early next week confirming our new name and some of our thinking behind it.
