Dude, Where’s My Thumb 2 – Left 4 Dead 2 Contest

Screen shot 2009-11-10 at 8.38.47 PM

You exactly have 5 days to figure out where the nearest Left 4 Dead 2 ad is and take a photo next to it. Why? Because Valve is hosting a contest that could win you a limited edition L4D2 Xbox 360 or a free copy of the game.

From the contest page:

Take a funny, interesting, scary or otherwise unique photograph of you or a friend in front of one of L4D2’s outdoor media placements (billboards, bus ads, etc.) and you could win a custom Xbox. All entries will be reviewed and judged by Gabe Newell, president and founder of Valve, so be creative!

All entries must be submitted by Sunday, November 15th.

So go out there and take photos! GL, HF. Full press release after the break.
