Create a Slusho Commercial, win an Alienware Laptop.
Posted on December 6th, 2007 at 11:51 am in Updates |
There’s a new section on the Slusho website titled “Contest.”
The contest is to create a 30 second long commercial for “Slusho.” Five of the top entries will win and receive an Alienware laptop valued at $3,000. So much for blowing all of your money on laptops since you wanted that low-budget film (which I still say wasn’t so low budget after all!)
The rules page (contents/rules.html) is currently down due to high server usage for that file, however basically the commercial needs to be “happy” and 30 seconds, no more then a minute. You’ve got to be a legal US resident, ages 18 and up.
Don’t watch their commercial if you want to retain your sanity.

okay first off…. WHAT THAT FUCK WAS THAT!
seccond i feel like im in some sort of asian drug overdose now.
Their website exploded apparently.
bloody talking moose….you beat me too it Jordan lol, i had rugby + school :-(
Ironic…i allready saved a template post for this “contest” lol, made it like a month ago when the 8th oval first turned up!
aahh well….good post…crazy commercial, but i’ll stick with my Dell XPS ;-)
I think I almost had a seizure, or a flashback.
i think they should give away the bigriggaming machines that rob’s brother makes…
officespacejk, that would be awesome.
Unfortunately for me, on a 0.2 kb/sec connection, I can’t exactly load Slusho atm, let alone watch the video I assume you embedded up there.
Brain…. is….. mush…. now….
Well, it’s up to you guys to send in videos, as I’m “too young” to send anything in. And I hope to God they don’t play that for advertising for the movie or during the movie itself.
Ok, I youtubed it.
No matter what the rest of you say, I thought that was awesome.
We’ve gotta work out what they all are saying.
Weird observation, and of no meaning: The moose sounded like the monster.
Another thing: Who else noticed the monkey swinging holding the flag at the very end of the video, like that last half second?
YOU CAN’T DRINK JUST SIX!
We’ll have to frame by frame it, kinda…the audio anyway cause the audio is just messed up…
I really hope that an actual Slusho! product is released with the movie..
This may be a stupid questions, but are they giving an Alienware computer away because the monster is an alien? Maybe that means that the monster is not going to look like anything we have ever seen before. Then this monster won’t be a lion, moose, whale, crab, turtle (did I forget any?), or any combination of said animals.
@paulisnofun - So basically it’s going to look like your mom, right.
But Hotter and with more Sex Appeal.
anyone know what time the competition FINISHES? and when the prize will be given out ?
I haven’t been able to access the pertinent Slusho contest pages since it was released; They obviously need to get a better server for their shit, because what they’re on right now sucks major ass.
I’m sure if you google around somewhere, someone probably copy/pasted it elsewhere.
I might just try and get my friends together and make one.
officespace, you’re only about an hour away from me, once I get this thing rolling, interested in helping out?
lol, that commercial always makes me laugh and roll on the floor in pain.
Anyways, alienware laptops/computers suck, don’t get them! :P
LOL ROFL!!!11!
Right before the guy slaps the floating head — oh god, his surprised face is fucking hilarious! XD
*dies of laughter*
Sorry for the extremely long post. Feel free to delete it if it’s too annoying.

Only one Submission from each entrant will be considered for the Contest. In the event of multiple Submissions by the same entrant, only the last Submission will be eligible and all other previous Submissions by such entrant will be disqualified.

Sponsor will not notify participants whether or not their Submission has been rejected or accepted. All Submissions must be actually received at the Website by the end of the Contest Period in order to participate. Sponsor’s computer clock will be the official time keeper for this Contest. Proof of entering or submitting information or material is not proof of receipt at the Website. Each Submission must be made by an individual entrant, only on the Website. Submissions made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other web site or e-mail address, including but not limited to commercial promotion subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Contest.

SUBMITTED MATERIALS: “Material” includes to the extent applicable (a) any information and material (e.g. video, music, photos, writings, statements and comments) submitted by an entrant in or in connection with the Contest, including without limitation the Submission; and (b) an entrant’s name, likeness, voice, image and other characteristics. Entrants are not permitted to submit any Material created by anyone other than themselves. If any group of individuals elects to collaborate on the Materials (including without limitation a Submission), they are required to designate the individual submitting the Submission as the agent of the group to enter the Contest, to agree to these Official Rules and accept any prize (if judged the winning Submission) on behalf of the group. Neither Sponsor, nor any of the Contest Entities, are liable for any disputes between collaborators arising under or related to the Contest. If a dispute as to the identity of an entrant cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected Submission will be deemed ineligible. By submitting Material, each entrant represents and warrants to Sponsor that (i) the Material is wholly original with the entrant and does not infringe upon or otherwise violate any right of any third party, (ii) the entrant has all rights necessary to submit the Material in the Contest in accordance with these Official Rules and to grant all rights in the Submission to Sponsor, and (iii) no party other than the entrant has any right, title or interest in and to the Material or any part of the Material. By participating in this Contest, each entrant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sponsor and the Contest Entities and their respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors, and agents from any claim, liability, injury, damage or other loss arising out of or related to your participation in the Contest, including without limitation any Material submitted, and any failure on your part to fully comply with these Official Rules, and any acceptance and use of any prize.

By entering the Contest, each entrant irrevocably grants, transfers, sells and assigns to Sponsor a fully-paid, exclusive right and license to publish, perform, reproduce, prepare derivative works of, morph, scan, edit, alter, distribute, display, exhibit, transmit, broadcast, televise, digitize and otherwise use, and permit others to use and perform, the Material in whole or in part, throughout the universe in perpetuity in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, including without limitation on the Internet, and for any purpose, including, but not limited to, advertising or promotion of Sponsor and its services, all without further notice, consent or approval from or payment to such entrant, and each entrant hereby releases Sponsor and the Contest Entities from any liability arising out of any such use. Each entrant agrees that Sponsor has no obligation to use or continue using such entrant’s Material. Submissions that do not comply with these Official Rules or that otherwise contain prohibited or inappropriate content as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will be disqualified and will not be considered for a prize. Sponsor makes the final determination as to which Submissions are eligible to take part in this Contest and may be considered for a prize. Certain Submissions may be featured from time to time on the Website during the Contest Period, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, and Website visitors may be invited to vote for their favorite featured Submissions; being selected as a featured Submission and/or receiving Website visitor votes is unrelated to the Judging Criteria (as defined below) and does not guarantee selection as a prize winner in the Contest. For the avoidance of doubt, any Website visitor voting is independent of the Judging Criteria and obtaining the most Website visitor votes (if any) does not entitle any such Submission to any prizing.
PRIZES / ODDS: There will be five (5) prize winners for this Contest. Each prize winner will receive one (1) Slusho!-skinned Alienware Area-51 m9750 laptop computer (Approximate retail value (”ARV”) of $3,000). The total ARV for the Contest is $15,000. Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible Submissions received during the Contest Period.
GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS: All details and other restrictions of prizes not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Any and all prizes will be delivered only to an address in the United States. Prizes are non-assignable and non-transferable. No cash alternative or prize substitutions will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right to substitute prize(s) of comparable value if the prizes listed or any component of any prize listed is unavailable for any reason. Any prizes depicted in promotional packaging or otherwise in connection with this Contest are for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the actual prize(s) that is (are) awarded. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Contest promotional materials and the terms and conditions of these Official Rules, these Official Rules shall prevail and govern. The prize winners shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. The potential prize winners will be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, a Work-For-Hire/Copyright Assignment of the Submission, originals of any and all releases, permissions and licenses of any elements (including music) used in their Submission, a W-9 Form, and (where legal) a Non-Disclosure Agreement and a Publicity Release (collectively, “Prize Claim Documents”). If a winner is considered a minor in his or her state of residence, at Sponsor’s option, the applicable prize either will be awarded in the name of the parent or legal guardian of the winner, or the parent or legal guardian of the winner will be required to ratify and sign the Prize Claim Documents. Potential prize winners will also be required to provide Sponsor, in a file format to be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, an actual copy of their Submission, as opposed to the URL link they submitted to enter the Contest. Time is of the essence in awarding the prizes. Accordingly, if a winner (or, in the case of a minor, such minor-winner’s parent or legal guardian) fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents and provide a file copy of their Submission within seven (7) days of prize notification (or a shorter time if required by exigencies), the winner may be disqualified and the next runner up may be selected as an alternate winner. Sponsor will issue a Form 1099 to each winner.
WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: Eligible Submissions will be judged on the following judging criteria (”Judging Criteria”): (i) embodying the happy-fun excitement of the Slusho! product - 50%; (ii) originality - 20%; (iii) creativity - 20%; (iv) adhering to the suggested length of thirty (30) seconds for a Submission - 5%; and (v) not associating Slusho! with something scary and bad - 5%. The winning Submission(s) will be selected by a judging process in which a qualified panel of judges (”Judges”), selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will evaluate each eligible submission based on the Judging Criteria. In the event of a tie, the tied Submissions will be re-judged by a different panel of judges chosen by Sponsor, consisting of an odd-number of judges, who will break the tie using the same Judging Criteria defined above. Entrants agree that Sponsor has the sole right to decide all matters and disputes arising from this Contest and that all decisions of Sponsor are final and binding. Within two (2) weeks of the conclusion of the Contest Period, the potential winners will be notified by telephone and/or mail and/or email using the contact information provided at the time of entry. Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by the potential winners for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within twenty-four (24) hours of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. If any potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate may be selected. Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to two (2) potential winners in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed winner of a prize after such attempts have been made, if any, the prize may go un-awarded.
PUBLICITY RELEASE: By participating in the Contest, in addition to any other grants which may be granted in any other agreement entered into between Sponsor and any entrant in or winner of the Contest, each entrant irrevocably grants the Contest Entities and their respective successors, assigns and licensees, the right to use such entrant’s name, likeness, and biographical information, and any individual(s) participating therein, in any and all media (including, without limitation, as a featured video on the Website) for any purpose, including without limitation, advertising and promotional purposes as well as in, on or in connection with the Website, the Contest or other promotions related to Slusho!, without further payment or consideration, and hereby release the Contest Entities from any liability with respect thereto.

Nice, Jerry — make a really long post that totally blocks mine. XD
Isn’t there a link, dude?
!! Blasphemy!! What makes you say Alienware sucks?
Everything in that ad makes me laugh. When I first heard the moose, I thought his talking sounded a little bored, then it merges into proclamatory fury. Weird.
Has anyone stayed on the contest page for six minutes and heard anything? I might have there, not sure, reloading.
Oh, I love his exasperated face… XD
*dies from laughter, once more*
That contest criteria tells us that this contest is actually valid, because I’m pretty sure that fulfills the legal criteria for contest criteria. Lol. Had to say it like that.
“Slusho is NOT scary, or related to anything scary or bad.”
mm-ha.
Alienware’s are great if they work or last past one year lol.
There is a link, but it seemed that everyone was having a hard time loading that page.
I didn’t have a problem, so I c/p it.
Ask someone to delete it if it’s a problem.
Jerry, I’m leaving it up there as reference in case that page goes down again.
I’m just too lazy to save my own copy to the server, so your comment does justice. Thanks darlin.
If I was more creative I would consider doing something myself. Maybe I can pay someone to do it for me.
BTW, that other game site, www.cluechaser.com has started. Wow, is it ever hard. I barely slept last night trying to figure it out. And that’s just the first puzzle. There’s supposed to be 10 of them.
angeleyez, um, you DO know that www.cluechaser.com has absolutely nothing to do with the movie…right? xD
Uhhh… I do now.
@jerry, i’m down w/ writtin…i’m not good w/ html though
Jordan- new here, just starting to check this stuff out. Are you going to post something like a summarization of the theories and whatnot before the release? It’d be interesting to see if someone actually figured it out before the release or if Cloverfield had people chasing their tails the whole time :) Just a thought, nice sirte!
