With Idea Bounty and Levi’s

This came up when I Googled 'Cool Idea'.
I think we’ve mentioned Idea Bounty before, no? I’m sure I have, unless I was drunk and imagined the whole thing, like the time I thought I had a friend called Boris Yeltsin who, although sharing a name with the former president of Russia, took an intense disliking to vodka and Russian roulette.
Where am I going with this? Oh yes, Idea Bounty, yes we’ve mentioned them before, it’s basically a cool initiative where you get paid for your ideas.
Last month they offered a bounty of $2500 for ideas revolving First National Bank. This time around, they are offering $3000 for their new Levis’ campaign.
To stand a chance to earn this money, all you need to do is register here (it takes all of 2 minutes). You will then have access to the full brief (it has to do with Levis Music Concerts. You must register to get more information.
From there you just submit your idea (anything from 20-200 words) and boom, just like that, you’re in the running. This bounty ends on 16 January so best get a move on.

Do we need to register whenever there is a new brief?
@RockStar,
No, don’t be ignorant. You just need to register once for access to all future briefs.
The trouble with this is that I can seldom get the ideas flowing on command, despite being a copywriter.
In my defense, I don’t do conceptual, and unless cool catchphrases count, it’s a bad month for out of the box thinking… being post-holiday and all.
That said, perhaps I should just take a look anyway and see.
@Rox,
Yeah, you should check it out – “nothing ventured, nothing gained”, as The Girlfriend says, whenever I unsuccessfully try to pin her down on the floor.
