It's the End of the World as You Show It

Latest Zooppa video contest asks community to show us the end of the world - Mayan style


SEATTLE, WA, Dec. 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With 2012 rapidly approaching (and along with it the end of the Mayan calendar) Zooppa, the leading source of user-generated advertising, wants to know how you think the world will end.

"We all know that the world will end in 2012, which is a kind of a bummer, but a lot of folks are curious about what exactly will cause the end of the world," said Zooppa CEO Wil Merritt (tongue firmly embedded in cheek). "We know how Roland Emmerich thinks it will happen, but is he right? How do you think it will all go down?"

Will it be natural disasters, like floods, earthquakes, storms, or volcanos?

Will it be plagues, locusts, and famine?

Will it be another season of Keeping Up with The Kardashians?

The Contest

Create a video, up to 90 seconds in length, that depicts a version of how the world will end. It can be a complete narrative, or a movie trailer that depicts a theory.

Awards

Winners will be chosen by the Zooppa staff, and will be judged on the below very strict criteria, broken down into percentages:

  • Which videos do we like the most? (100%)

There will also be one video chosen by the Zooppa Community through voting.

"Brand name clients regularly challenge the Zooppa community with creative projects," says Merritt. "With the End of the World contest, we’re giving talented filmmakers a fun Zooppa project where they can really let their imaginations run wild."

In addition to the cash prizes, the 1st place winner will also be interviewed and featured in the Zooppa blog, have his/her video featured on the front page of the Zooppa website, and be highlighted in Zooppa's press releases.
