In consideration of the news that it’s costing us as much to promote and process the rebate checks as the combined Super Bowl advertising budget for the Patriots-Giants game, I’m launching a contest!
Your challenge is to promote the economic stimulus plan via print, podcast or video. You can be as serious or as cheeky as you want.
Depending on the number of entrants, there will be at least two winners – I may give out some special prizes, too.
The winners will have their entries posted on taxgirl.com and receive a taxgirl tee shirt!
Here’s how it works:
Entries must be sent via email with “Tax Rebate Super Bowl Commercial Contest” in the subject line to taxgirlmail@mac.com by 11:59pm EST on May 1 – the day before the first rebate checks will hit the mail.
You can create your ad as written text, video, print ads or podcasts. Send your written entries via plain text (either as a text file or just typed directly in the body of the email) or PDF. Scans or artwork must be in JPG. If you create a video or podcast, send me the URL where the video or podcast is hosted – consider YouTube, AOL video, Google video, Yahoo video or your own site. No other attachments or formats will be accepted.
Entries must be in English.
You must include your full name and your email address with your entry. I won’t publish your email address, but I do need contact information for the winning entry. I respect your privacy, and I will not send you anything unrelated to your entry in this contest.
You can enter the contest as many times as you’d like, as long as each submission is unique.
By entering the contest, you agree that b5media may post any part or all of your submission, including your name, as a part of the contest announcements or promotions, with the exception of your email address.
By entering the contest, you agree that all works submitted on your behalf are original and belong to you or you declare that you have the right to submit those works. You may not submit images or ideas that are not your own or that you do not have permission to submit.
All decisions relating to finalists and winners are in my sole discretion and are final.
