NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
1. SUBMISSION FORMAT AND CONTENT REQUIREMENTS:
1. Creative Assignment:
Have a great video or a great idea - here's your chance to show it off and actually have it pay off.
A little about our sponsor.
This is an open contest presented by SplashVision.com. If you would like to Sponsor one of our contests contact SplashVision.com at service@splashvision.com subject "Contests".
What's the big idea?
Well, that's up to you.
Make us laugh. Make us cry. Make us say, "Wow! Why didn't we think of that?"
But make it something you'd want to see - something you could see on broadcast TV.
Maybe it's a story about you fishing or the cruise you went on. Let’s face it, not everyone has a million dollar yacht, but if you did we might like to see that as well.
You write it. You cast it. You direct and shoot it. You have total creative control.
It’s that easy, everyone has an equal chance to win. Just tell your friends and have them tell their friends and so on.
