I have an advertisement in the Australian DORITOS ADVERTISEMENT COMPETITION 2010

Hi all.

Election time has come early! Please VOTE FOR ME.

From now (Wednesday 28th July 9am) until Wednesday 4th August 9am, my home-grown Doritos advertisement will be available for you to view, laugh at, vote for and share with everyone you know.

Note that as of 9am this morning, their website is busier than a Queenstown ski shop full of Xavier kids, so it might pay to wait a bit.

My advert can be found here:
http://www.doritos.com.au/#/gallery/week-8/id/2225

Voting for my advert is open now (to Australian residents). You can vote 5 times per day for the same advert during this period. The truly heroic among you will be able to vote up to 40 times! If you vote or refer a friend via the Doritos website you also go into a daily prize draw for each day you do so.

The details:
  • The advertisement with the most votes for this voting period goes into a pool of 8 wild-card ads from which 1 is fast-tracked to the final 10.
  • My advert also can be selected by a judging panel based on its originality, creativity, popularity, appeal, and keeping to the rules as one of the other 9 of the final 10 from the hundreds of other entries.
  • The final 10 is then judged by a panel that select 3 for the Grand Final.
  • The final 3 will then be open for public judging.

I will let you know if I make it that far!

Let your family and friends know about this with facebook, twitter, word of mouth, jungle drums, smoke signals, or forwarding a link to this page.

Thanks for your help.
Happy Voting!

Circle Of Belief

"Stand with us in the Circle of Belief"

This was an attempt to refine religion because I saw how much bad could be done in their name, but now I have seen the good things religions can do, I don't think the babies should be thrown out with the bathwater. Exclusivity still sucks (31/1/2010)
