PAPER
Word of Mouth


PAPERMAG contributors MyBlockNYC have a really fabulous contest planned for Valentine's Day, and we're not just saying that because they're our pals! Because "everyone is a lover and a hater in NYC," the video-mapping site is asking its users to upload videos of friends (or friendly strangers) talking about the things they love and hate most in life. (For example, we love MyBlockNYC, and hate the word "panties.") The person who gets the most likes on a single video wins a room for two nights at the Standard Hotel; the person who makes MyBlockNYC's favorite video wins a one-year membership to Creative Time, and the person who uploads the most videos wins a one-of-a-kind "I <3 New York" t-shirt hand-drawn by the inventor of the iconic logo, Milton Glaser. WHAT! Sounds amazing. Get uploading, people -- deadline is at 11:59 p.m. on February 12th. (See the video above for additional rules and regulations.)
