The “Pricey Ink Stinks” contest invites entrants to put an end to the pain of expensive ink cartridges by submitting clever ideas for repurposing old printers. The most creative entry will earn the winner their choice of $1000 cash or a $1000 scholarship.

The inspiration for the campaign came from the cost of Kodak’s EASYSHARE AiO replacement ink cartridges, priced at less than half of most competitors at $14.99 MSRP for color and $9.99 MSRP for black. Entrants in the “Pricey Ink Stinks” campaign are asked to submit a photo, drawing, video or blog of how they would creatively repurpose their old printers if they won the Kodak EASYSHARE 5300 AiO. The grand prize winner will be hand selected by Kodak staff from the top 20 highest scoring entries. The best video, best image, best blog and most viral entries will each win a Kodak EASYSHARE 5300 AiO.

From turning printers into flower pots to using them for litter boxes, Kodak wants people to get creative and enter today! Anyone can visit Brickfish to check out the contest and enter. They can also visit the site to view and vote for their favorites. Contest ends 23 November 2007 at 11:30 PM (PST).
