 Marketing firms have realized the power of user-generated content, and companies are paying out thousands in prizes for customer-made commercials. Last year's Golden Doorknob winners are looking for the best ideas to produce high-quality videos for submission.

 GREETINGS creative people!

Have you ever heard about online video contests for companies like Doritios and GoDaddy.com and thought, I've got an idea, but I don't know where I'd start?

BearInMind Studios, the students who brought you last year's 1st Place Golden Doorknob Film, is trying to change that. We're looking for the best ideas for online contests and Golden Doorknobs - we want to build you a team to bring your idea to life. We have dozens of affiliated people from across schools, years, and majors. 

Still not convinced? Here are some example top prizes:

FeelYourBoobies - $10,000

Sony Pictures - $10,000

USBank - $9,500

AT&T - $20,000

GoDaddy.com - $250,000

Doritos - up to $5,000,000 grand prize

(check out OnlineVideoContests.com for dozens more)

Film is about collaboration, and the Park School is full of talented individuals. Together, we can gain experience, build reels, and hopefully win some cash.

If you have an idea for an Online Video Contest Submission, a Golden Doorknob, or any other prize-awarding contest, we want to realize your dream. Come to one of our pitch nights:

This Tuesday, 9-11pm in Park 281 (9/28)

This Wednesday, 8-11pm in Park 281 (9/29)

Email me - spatton1@ithaca.edu - if you want to reserve a time to pitch. Otherwise, just come on by.

If you like the sound of all this, but don't have a pitch, or would like to pitch at a different time, or would just like to get involved, email me - spatton1@ithaca.edu - and we can pick out a time to meet.
