Contest winners “Veltins goes viral”

After six weeks full of thoughts on beer and facebook the „Veltins goes viral“ contest is over. The community was asked to submit viral ideas which would lead to an exponential increase in popularity of www.facebook.com/veltins

With a total of 532 comments the community hotly discussed the submitted ideas and found the majority to be of extraordinary quality. Here a quote of a community-member: „Kruxifix – bei dem Contest sind wirklich viele gute Ideen dabei!“  (“Crucifix, there really are a lot of good ideas in this contest!”)

The community indeed came up with many brilliant, extraordinary and funny ideas. The high quality of the contest and the exceptional number of very good ideas served for a constructive and highly creative ground with helpful feedback everywhere. It was great to see how people worked together and how generously the community was with praising each other. That’s the right spirit everybody! Thanks for another fair contest!

And here are the happy winners:

1. haikot with Kunstraub
   
   haikot gained a huge fan base right after he submitted his idea, people were already ordering products of the yet to be established “bottle line”. His secret is making “„Braukunst“ last forever – by using the bottle and adding something new to it. So the bottle becomes an design object even after the last draft.” By leting the facebook community and professional designers rate on the designed bottle products, the viral aspect is served perfectly. Very well done haikot! I want one of those clocks…
2. JeskoStoetzer with Open Space
   
   Leading the contest for some time, this idea was also very well received by the community – well documented by 76 comments! JeskoStoetzer developed a complex concept that would enaible Veltins to “offer open spaces for young contemporary artists -and thereby – place their product right in the middle of an upcoming art and design scene”. A great idea and a great opportunity for both – artists and Veltins.
   
3. wueberg with KUNSTSTÜCK
   
   wueberg was the first to submit an idea and with “KUNSTSTÜCK” he amazed everybody right from the start. Fans of Veltins facebook page are asked to design beer coasters which can then be uploaded and added to the collection of submitted beer coaster designs where fans can vote on their favouite designs. Attractive prices and the chance to have your beer coaster send to you in a limited edition (or even an adaption to use in real life) are nice incentives for participation. I can’t wait to see one of those designed beer coasters in my local bar!
