Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) February 2, 2007 -- Centric announced the opening of “Freestyle’s $100K Challenge” contest, featuring user-generated photography and video on the all new Freestyle website at www.freestyleusa.com. Visitors will have the opportunity to submit photos and videos, based on a monthly theme, for a chance to win the grand prize of $100,000.
Every month two winners (one photo and one video) will be chosen based on the most online views to receive his or her choice of a Freestyle watch and accessory worth up to $175. The top two winners in each category, for the length of the contest, will then win an expense-paid trip for two to San Diego, Calif., Sept. 7-9, 2007, to attend the Action Sports Retailer (ASR) tradeshow for a chance to roll the dice for the $100,000 grand prize.
"This is a great example of what you can do with open networks," said Jason Stoddard, Centric's Managing Partner/Interactive. "Since we built Freestyle's site to seamlessly integrate with YouTube and Flickr using their APIs, we have a built-in video and photo delivery system with viewing statistics and user ratings. Combined with user-generated content and an innovative insurance-supported challenge, this is a unique and efficient way to give videographers and photographers a chance for a big payoff."
Centric will propagate the contest on popular surf forums, contest sites, social networks and social media, and with conventional online advertising.
