Our weekend social experiment: Upload a picture, win a TechCrunch Tshirt. You may have noticed our post on Picwing earlier today. While we’re waiting 6-8 weeks for the damn picture frame to arrive, I’ve decided to create a new album that allows anyone to upload photos. Email an image to TCR@picwing.com and it will appear in the widget below. See the whole album here.
Whoever submits the best picture, defined solely by me or more likely one of our interns that I assign this to, will win a TechCrunch tshirt in the size of their choice (we have all womens and mens sizes except, alas, men’s medium). Go for interesting or funny, that’s the best way to win. The first picture in the album is our very own Dan Kimerling holding up a tshirt that with a little effort could soon be in your hands. We’ll notify the winner by emailing whatever email you use to submit the picture.
Anything disgusting or not safe for work will be removed immediately and you will be banned from TechCrunch for life.
Have fun! The winner will be chosen on Sunday. I’ll be shutting down submissions overnight as I sleep, then back on in the morning - no moderation mode.
See all

I’m pretty sure your coworker turned around and was wondering why you weren’t working.
bitch. anything to show off your fake boobs and deadpool-bound company logo.
honey — to be brutally honest, you’re probaby better off putting some money toward your face and teeth than toward your boobs.
so not true. i’d totally hit it. and i’m a chick!
I’m going to the leading online PDF/Paper sharing site Scribd.com, anyone want to join me? No other site compares, because most have lame “Buzz” campaigns which make me think they are just spammers! I hate spammers!
um why is there is a huge gaping ass picture?
Seriously… Thanks for the lack of NSFW warning.
Ugg totally saw a goatse, thats worse than these damn video comment spammers.
Sean, if you don’t delete your avatar, everyone knows you’re working with the intern in the video comment above. Seems you didn’t pay enough attention to Jason Calacanis’ viral marketing while you were at Mahalo.
Anyway, in this recent article on TechCrunch http://www.techcrunch.com/2008.....d-opt-out/ I noticed what looks like a white-label version of Docstoc (”Justia”). I can’t find any info about a Docstoc white-label product on your truly confusing site. (Scribd’s site is much better). Anyway, If you have such a product, I will go look for more info (incl. TOS!) on the Docstoc blog by next Wednesday. (Don’t put it here, you’ve done enough spamming already.)
Perfect about to go to bed and all I can see is that damned goatse!!
urgh that’s interestingly open to abuse. I’d put it into moderate mode (They do have one, right?) before you go to bed tonight. TC’s homepage now opened up for anyone to post to, and all. If you guys ever sleep, that is. They could at least integrate a digital human-flesh filter.
yeah, there is no moderation mode, so i’ll close it down when i go to bed.
a shirt is the prize…up the ante, surely you’re bigger than that.
Add a cap, and a signed poster of yourself too.
For a good laugh, here’s a public one for girls@picwing.com

Wow, big spender….you are gonna give away 1 whole t-shirt! Wow, everyone upload quick!!!!!
i love makkah
I submitted one, but I already have a TechCrunch t-shirt from Startup Schwag. I don’t wear it though because it’s a neon green color that stands out a little too much…
nice blog:)
Hugs, guys! - um someone just uploaded a pic of guys going to the bathroom, just a heads up…. no pun intended.
I resisted spamming the comments for a while, but I’ve spent years on TC not spamming so…
If anyone ever wants to hold a contest like this themselves (and have the ability to approve photos before goatse is uploaded), check out my photo assignment site 52clix.
The iPhone pic from Nepal is crazy!
See some fantastic pictures up, now I just have to find one just as good!

Need a way to delete though. Especially duplicates.
Looks like album is being flooded. What’s up with that?
The dude in the bathtub currently has 22 of approx the same photo (each slightly different). Hey Ric - you can stop uploading them anytime now. :/
Sorry - I am NOT spamming!
I am trying to create a theme - I am wearing all my GEEK shirts at once (26 in all)
Can you see what you’ve done to the album? No problem. I’m wearing mine too.
http://tcr.picwing.com/pictures/31144
Make that 25 now. Geesh. Does that mean he wins ? If so, you can go ahead and stop the contest now.
Very cool idea - I love it. So many of these pictures are simply breathtaking.
Mike,
Somebody accused me of flooding - I am just going with a theme.
Please note that I am wearing all of my geek shirts at once (26 in all)
My favorite is TechCrunch, but I would LOVE the new color!
Your “theme” flooded the album. That should be apparent. But that’s ok. I made a theme too.
http://tcr.picwing.com/pictures/31144
awesome
GREAT. We will now get to see some dude in his undies.
That one was mine
Entered, nothing else to do at 3 am.
this is my favorite so far. don’t know why.
http://static.picwing.com/9822/e_31403_t540.jpg
Not sure why either. lol
Mike - was taken when we were leaving the lake house last summer vacation - my father’s shirt was drying and he had hung it to dry and then we were packing, so you know why it’s called “loss”….
thanks Linda (nice)
wow - http://picwing.tumblr.com/ - has quite the mix
yeah. I guess SO Considering it’s nudies. lol
Eeee, yea. I’ll have to say this is kinda boring. It’s a flash gallery. C’mon!
I expect more from this site.
Oops! The company logo in my signature showed up too! Pretty literal interpretation of ‘image’ - Cool app otherwise. XL shirt please.
Michael, .. uh you monitoring these photos or are you going to add COPA AND COPPA to this site? I noticed yoru comment after certain things were added that weren’t intended for the coppa and copa age group. Great idea here, actually but somebody needs to have their hand on the delete button.
Some of these are actually amazing photos. Going to be hard to pick a winner.
you guys are amazing - there are some really terrific shots there…. fun to see them all mish-mashed up
Sorry Michael - I couldn’t resist .. ;P

“Anything disgusting or not safe for work will be removed immediately and you will be banned from TechCrunch for life.”
That’s extremely unforgiving and terse.
Not sure what “not safe for work” actually means. Safe for your boss to see? lol
Noticed a bit of self promoting “spam” though.
Exactly - I’m wondering how many comments you’re going to leave on this post.
I uploaded a pic from my trip to Iceland - cool perspective on an interesting rock formation on a black sand beach. It’s not really sand though, more like crushed stone maybe.
Problem ossifer? I’m actually admiring many of the photos there. I was referring to the spam photos.
Got the link btw - would love to see it. Getting harder to find what’s what there now.
We done? Who won???
hmm… I see it’s still open to spam now. Not the way to run a contest is it? Hey - I like you guys but follow through please.
Perhaps the West C@mpus Girls now own Techcrunch. :/
Ignore that parsed mailto: link. It was unintentional and I have no idea where it goes to.
It’s MONDAY folks. Did we miss the announcement of the winner?
Hooty hooo…. So will we be graced with the winning photo or will only the winner be emailed and aware. :/
Linda do you have a job? Because your obviously not doing it.
seriously, just give her the t-shirt to shut her up……
Of course I have a job and yes I’m doing it. And very well I might add. (I own my own most lucrative business)
Sorry - I already have t shirts too. More than my dressers can hold. I happen to think there are some amazing photos posted for this and I already know the one I think should win. But I don’t get to choose. I think the winner though deserves the recognition for their efforts.
Maybe you two don’t. But that’s ok because you don’t get to choose the winner either.
