Last year, ten thousand of you introduced an old-school medium to the new rules of advertising.

New year. New medium.

One year after our New York Times success, we’re pleased to unveil the Firefox Flicks advertising contest to anyone with a video camera and a healthy disgust for traditional film advertising. The contest begins today and runs through March 21, 2006.

Contest finalists will have their work judged by some of our era’s most distinguished film and advertising talents. The winner will see his or her work incorporated into our global marketing campaigns and take home a $5000 B&H gift certificate. The second and third place prizes aren’t so bad either.

The New York Times ad gave a lot of people very tiny names. Now we want to make a very big name for one aspiring director by exposing her work to millions of people worldwide. Stop polishing the resume and fishing for contacts. Just give us 30 seconds and let us give you a career.
