I am sad that I did not get to post this much earlier in the season, but alas, my damned appendix had to go rogue and make things difficult. I figure that anyone that has to stare at lovely cubicle walls all day should appreciate the pics even if they are a bit late.In order to spruce up our spaces this year and take away a bit of the monotony, I decided to sponsor a cubicle decorating contest. I really just wanted people to go crazy and over the top for a little friendly competition. I typed up some rules and a sign-up sheet in November listing 3 possible categories to enter into:
1. Great Griswold Christmas Cubicle.
2. Funky and Festive Christmas Cubicle.
3. Classy Christmas Cubicle (for those who couldn't handle the glare and funk!).
Overall, we had 7 entries (it's a small office), and Miranda came up with the fantastic idea of getting a Dundee-type award for the prizes. We used a local trophy shop and had 3 small trophies made, which unfortunately, I did not take pictures of. The shop did a fantastic job on them though. I have mine (I won the Classy Christmas Cubicle award) proudly displayed on my desk for all to view and lust after. I was hoping that having them displayed prominently would encourage a bit more fierce competition in '09.

This is great. I wish my office had thought of this. Maybe next year...
great pics and great idea...I feel your pain with the appendix
nopylicThis is a riot! It brought back fond memories of years ago when two rows of cubicles in our bland one-story sprawling office had a decorating competition. It became an island of lights and color in the middle of a beige warehouse that grew brighter everyday. The president even sponsored a voting contest with prizes, just to end it without seeming to be a scrooge.
I am currently putting together a Christmas DVD of the best decorations around the US. Though we may end up limiting it to outdoors, I would love to consider a few of these photos. Any chance you could get me the contact info so I could acquire permission? The website for entries is www.tsa-lightkeeperpro.org along with my contact info.
Keep up the great contest. I love it!!!!!
