The Adnostic

Think you're smart? Think you're creative? Then apply to Wieden + Kennedy's ad school WK12. Here's an video of one of their projects - a spread for Good Magazine under the theme of "America, Love it or Fix it."

Oh wait, did I forget to mention that there's a catch? Of course there's a catch my little uber-creative-smarty-pants. They don't tell you how to apply. You have to go to their site, get the clues, figure out the message, and then send in what you think they want. Good freaking luck to you.

I haven't really taken the time to fully analyze the clues, but there is something about Egyptian Tombs and/or catacombs. They give you a physical mailing address and an email address. Something about a Norse Yeti who burps, a bear, a blingy watch with spinning things, and then I'm lost.

Okay, scratch that. The desk is just interesting junk. Click the keys in the top righthand corner of the desk and get the real dope.

There isn't much to it. You just put together something wildly creative and put it in a 9" x 12" envelope and if they think you're in the top 24 candidates, they'll fly you to Oregon for a weekend in February. If they then consider you in the top 12, you can give them $15K and a year of your life.

Best of luck.
