UncommonRoom Contest


Here at UncommonGoods, we like to embrace expression and individuality. In support of the office build-out, we are running a contest for all team members to help bolster our brand and mission in our meeting rooms. The contest is simple and offers two different opportunities:

1) Submit a suggestion for a single room name that reiterates our brand and values (this name may be selected for one of our five current meeting rooms: A-side Conference room, A2, A4, A5, A6). If your room name is selected, you'll receive a $50 Visa Gift Card!

2) Develop a theme that can be used to name all the meeting rooms. Please note that the room themes should not be number specific, and should allow for expansion up to 20 rooms. If your theme is selected, you'll receive a $250 Visa Gift Card! The theme should include suggestions for specific names of 5 meeting rooms within the theme.


Further suggestions (such as room decor) to support the names of the room(s) are encouraged for both submission types. 

Submissions for the contest should be sent to HR@UncommonGoods.com and will be accepted until August 31st at 6:00 pm. Thanks, and good luck!

Consider the alternative!
