Firefox ad contest

Mozilla Corp. and the Vail Film Festival have teamed up to create a Firefox ad contest called "Firefox Flicks." The contest involves creating a killer ad for Firefox, then having said ad judged by some Hollywood folks, and hopefully winning loot and exposure. What Hollywood folks? McG (Charlie's Angels) is on the list, as is Freddy Rodriguez (Six Feet Under), plus Warren Zide, the brains behind the American Pie and Final Destination juggernauts. But of course, you want to know what loot you can win, right? Top prize is a $5,000 gift certificate to B&H. Second place is one of those swanky 9x triple-LCD screens, and third prize is an Alienware Media Center PC. Personally, I'm more about the exposure, because those Hollywood types know talent when they see it... Sort of. The leading ads will be shown at the Vail festival though, if that floats your boat. Naturally there's a wealth of banners, and more stuff on the Firefox Flicks blog.
