Dorms Contest Site Launches

We just launched a contest to win a Dorm Room Makeover. The site is based on three videos which have a similar feel as viewing a famous person’s crib. The goal of the site design is to encourage viewing each video and make a selection of your favorite to enter the contest.

With screen shots of each video we placed a large play buttons right in the center. When playing a video a tab at the bottom brings the user directly to the entry form and pre-selecting video they were just watching.

The design of the site mirrors the introduction and conclusion of each video. Check out the site.

    This is awesome for prospective students! My only concern would be the length of the videos, but even then they are under the magic 5 minutes.

    Fun, hip, and simple. Awesome job!
