contest for Zack Snyder’s new movie Watchmen:
Director Zack Snyder is offering you the opportunity to
create "Veidt Enterprises" TV commercials that could end up in the
feature film WATCHMEN, scheduled to be released in theaters on March 6, 2009.
The movie is set in 1985, so TV commercials should be in 4:3 aspect ratio (so
it looks like standard TV, not widescreen) and they should be either 15, 30 or
60 seconds in length. The products are all made by "Veidt
Enterprises," and you can download the product logos for your use as well.
Make your TV commercial in NTSC standard definition (720x486) or higher
resolution, upload it before June 2, and then others can vote on your work. The
40 finalists will win signed posters from Zack Snyder. The top five finalists
from user votes will win High-Definition Canon Vixia HG10 camcorders. Up to 20
of Zack's favorite finalists will win $1000.00, and have a chance to be
included in the WATCHMEN feature film itself.
This contest involves creating a fake commercial for a
product from Veidt Enterprises that could end up in the feature film Watchmen. The deadline is June 2. More

County with meaningful programs,
services, research and advocacy to impact the future of the community.
Its mission is to promote clean air and healthy lungs through research,
education and technology. This year, we’re all about asthma –particularly
“What should a kid do if they have an asthma attack?” More info at http://www.breathela.org/psa-contest or http://www.breathela.org/events/create-a-breathe-la-psa-you-might-win-1k and http://www.youtube.com/group/BreatheLAContest2008
*Tap Water vs. Bottle Water
Video Contest:
Students can win $1500 in the
"I Heart Tap Water” video contest sponsored by Food & Water Watch.
Alec Baldwin is one of the contest judges. There are health, economic, and
environmental reasons to switch from bottled water to the tap variety. Tap
water is tested for impurities hundreds of times monthly, whereas bottled water
undergoes minimal testing, and comes in potentially chemical-leaching
plastic bottles. The bottles themselves require more than 17 million barrels of
oil annually to produce, and that’s not to mention the huge amount of fossil
fuels used and vehicle emissions produced to ship them around the country. At
the end of it all, over 86% of these recyclable plastic bottles end up in
landfills. Those are some of the costs of bottled water—on top of the costs to
consumers, who pay between $0.89 and $8.26 per gallon for something that comes
almost free—about $0.002 per gallon—from the tap. If you have any questions,
feel free to contact Erin Greenfield by email at egreenfield@fwwatch.org or
call at (202) 683-2457. More info at www.takebackthetap.org
*Intelligent Use of Water Film
Competition:
Submit short films that answer the
question: How do we use water responsibly? The competition officially
launched on March 1, 2008 and will accept submissions through September 1,
2008. A panel of judges will review the entries and finalists will be selected
and invited to a screening event on October 11, 2008, in
Los Angeles at the Los Angeles County
Arboretum & Botanic Garden. Following the screening, winners will be
announced and cash prizes of $6,000 for the Jury Award and $3,000 for the
Audience Choice Award will be awarded. You can learn more by visiting http://www.iuowfilm.com
*HungerBytes Contest:
The World Food Programme would like
your help to raise awareness about hunger and actively fight against it! How?
Enter the HungerBytes Contest! Create a 30-60 second video about hunger that is
creative and engaging! Post it at our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/hungerbytes and you could win a chance to visit a WFP site (see the website for more info
