BYOK Setup Challenge
Show us your favorite BYOK writing setup.
Submit a short video or photo set. Video is especially encouraged. Post it publicly and share the link, or upload directly. We'll choose our favorite setup and give the winner $500 toward your dream BYOK setup.
Put it toward the gear around your BYOK: a new keyboard(s), stand, case, or desk setup.
How it works
Share your setup, submit the form, and you are officially entered.
Step 1
Capture your setup
Film a short video (10 to 30 seconds) or take a photo of your favorite BYOK setup: desk, travel, cafe, wherever you write. Video is especially encouraged.
Step 2
Post or upload
Share it publicly (tag BYOK) and paste the link, or upload your video/photo directly.
Step 3
Submit the form
The form is your official entry. We will review all entries after the deadline and choose our favorite.
What to include
A few simple things make a great entry.
- A short video is ideal because it shows your BYOK setup in use. 10 to 30 seconds is perfect.
- Photos are welcome too. Just show your BYOK clearly.
- Include your keyboard, stand, case, desk gear, or anything else that completes the setup.
- Post it publicly and tag BYOK, or upload your video/photo directly here.
- Submit this form to make your entry official.
You can enter up to three times,as long as each entry shows a different setup.
Example entries
A great entry does more than show the device. It helps someone imagine writing with it. Here are a few directions to spark ideas.
