What do you want to do this summer?
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 | 165 commentsHi Tallyheads,
Just because we don’t have new episodes to watch for a few months doesn’t mean that OfficeTally will come to a standstill!
I would like to hear your ideas about contests, activities, and anything else you think will help fellow Tallyheads pass the time this summer while we wait for Season 5. The more specific you can be with details, the better! And please note that I have plenty of prizes to give away …
If you’ve sent me ideas in the past, please post them again in a comment below. That way, I’ll have everything in one place.
Thanks! :) Jennie
P.S. Here is an archive of past contests.
To do for sure
- Survivor Season 4






Ok, this is a bit late and it’s not a contest: I thought that with your connections at NBC ;), you could maybe give us a little bio or intro (like how they got where they are) of the people who work behind the scenes at The Office (such as the writers who aren’t actors, cameramen, props people, etc.).
I agree with the cold open contest, because I just wrote a scene of the Office for my English class. So I’m all set. Haha.
Ooh, I like the scavenger hunt ideas and a TWSS contest. My old fashioned idea is to make a greeeting card. Tallyheads would have to make an “office” themed greeting card suitable for giving away. You could set up a P.O. Box we would mail them to and then choose the top 5 or 10 to post here as the finalists. If you wanted, you could make it have to be for a specific holiday like Boss’s Day Oct. 16. The winner would get mailed to Greg Daniels!
the talking head contest again!
I loved the Survivor contests (even if I didn’t always agree with the winners), so how about one for quotes or scenes? To stretch it out, quotes (and moments, for that matter) can be divvied up by character. Everyone on the show deserves their chance to shine. Even Harvey.
another crossword puzzle!
Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet or done before (still fairly new to the site), but maybe a Mad Libs contest could be fun. Some people can write them out, and others could fill them out, and then they can be posted for everyone to read.
#138, that sounds super! I would probably end up relating all the photos on my camera to The Office haha
not a contest idea..but do you have more behind the scenes information when you went to the set of the Office for the finale as now you can say it without worrying about spoiling anything
Contest idea:
Design a “Free Ryan!” T-shirt…that the nbc store can surely sell. Perhaps tied into the “Michael Scott Free Ryan 5K Fun Run and Baby’s Gonna Need Diapers Fund Raiser” t-shirts?
I second a look-alike contest!
Also maybe a TWSS contest, where we submit favorite TWSS moments from our lives!
#151- Great idea (songs)! I’m kind of good at art, so I’d also love to do a “Pam drawings” contest!
Here are some suggestions:
How about a “Best Office moments/scenes” list/contest.
Best lines each character has spoken.
Impressions of “Pam Art”
My ideas:
Create the Office cast (everyone submits a comment why they should be the character and or/ a picture of you dressed up as them and Tanster chooses a new cast member every week)
Another talking head contest (I already filmed some!)
NBC.com trivia-a-thon (I can’t think of any more good ideas!)
Find songs that best represents the various couples.
Maybe an idea for a cold open, or a dvd cover idea for Season Four for those graphic design people
Talking Head Contest again, missed it last time, and I have the best one ready…
sorry to post again but what about who can write the best JAM proposal for next season???
I think some type of writing contest would be cool. Or maybe people could up their own ideas of an Office spinoff.
How about a video contest in which fans submit a short clip that is a reenactment of one of their own real life office experiences….
