Google Glass: Score A Pair Through Google's 50-Word Contest, Although It Will Come At A Hefty Price (VIDEO)

Want to be one of the first people to try out Google's rather exciting Glass project? The tech giant is kicking off a competition on Twitter and Google+ that will culminate on Feb. 27 and give some lucky winners the shot at owning a pair of Google's Glasses.

All one has to do is explain what he or she would do with Google Glass if they had one. Applications must be 50 words or less, can include up to five pictures (or a short video), and need to include the tagline #ifihadglass in it. For full details, you can visit Google's official page on how to win one.

"We're looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass. We'd love to make everyone an Explorer, but we're starting off a bit smaller. We're still in the early stages, and while we can't promise everything will be perfect, we can promise it will be exciting," writes Google.

Winning the competition isn't the last step to owning this high-tech piece of machinery, however. If you are chosen after Feb. 27, Google will require you to put down $1,500 (plus tax) and fly out to the New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles to pick up the glasses in person. Not exactly the cheapest contest to win, but if you aren't in the dev circle, this is the best shot at getting your hands on what is sure to become a cultural phenomenon when released (although it will certainly need a lighter price tag to catch on). Google's press shots indicate the product will be available in a variety of colors, although there's no indication you will get to pick your own design if you win.

To help generate some interest, Google has also released a new video showcasing Google Glass. Titled "How It Feels [through Glass]," the video showcases a series of rather action-drive moments (that one is supposed to assume is part of day-to-day life) from the vantage point of someone wearing the Glasses.

Will you enter Google's contest and be one of the first to own Google Glass?
