Winners will be chosen on June 15th. You can enter the contest by tweeting or posting publicly on Google+ using the hashtag #ROTBthroughGlass with a photo of you wearing Google Glass and a short statement about why you’re best qualified for the job of sharing the event through Glass. The two most interesting entries will be invited to Pamplona on their dime.
They offer this additional note about the tight timeline:
“We understand that not all Explorers have their Google Glass – yet. That is why we’ll wait as long as we can – until June 15 – to choose the winners. This will allow as many Explorers as possible the opportunity to compete. But since the Running of the Bulls happens July 6-14th, we need to allow enough time for the winners to coordinate time off. We wish there was time to include everyone, but we had trouble convincing the city officials to move San Fermin to coincide with the Glass rollout schedule.”
If you’ve been lucky enough to already have your Glass unit, or are getting it in the next week, get your ideas together, and get a submission in! For more information, see Running with the Bulls through Glass. Good luck!
