The Ride Wants to Make You Famous

March 22, 2012 - PRLog -- THE RIDE, proclaimed by NBC’s “Today Show” as “the hottest way to see New York,” today announced a video contest where talented performers will join the “cast” of the upcoming FAZZINO RIDE, based on the internationally known 3-D works of pop artist Charles Fazzino.  

Casting Auditions Decided Through Video Contest

THE RIDE’s Open Video Casting Call contest encourages anyone with a unique, quirky, crowd-pleasing talent to submit a video of themselves in action via the company’s Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/ExperienceTheRide). Ten (10) finalists will be selected based on how many people “like” their video through voting.  The final ten will be given a live audition opportunity and from that process, winners will be selected.  THE RIDE’s contest winners will be given a chance-of-a-lifetime to perform up to 10 times a week for THE RIDE’s guests.  The person could become New York’s next sidewalk sensation…and get paid for it!

The deadline to upload a video to the THE RIDE’S Facebook page is April 8th.  Contestants should encourage others to vote for their video.  People vote via “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” buttons and can vote once a day until the contest ends.

Be the Next Unusual NYC Talent on THE RIDE

For the contest, THE RIDE is looking for circus talent, unicycle riders, jugglers, carnival talent, clowns, sideshow oddities, street performers, unique and well done musical instruments performers, contortionists, acrobats, hula hoopers, diablos, rolla bollas, fire breathers & eaters, break dancers, stilts performers, trampoline acts, saxophone players, street magicians, straight jacket escape artists, snake charmers, or something so unique it has to be seen to be believed.
