Win US $5000 for your movie clip and help prove Generation Next is more creative than any other!

March 3, 2009 - PRLog -- MXit is launching a video-clip competition internationally to prove that Generation Next is smarter and more creative than any other generation before them, and we need your help!

It’s time to unleash the creative genius of our generation and show just how far out of the box we can think. The more rad the clip the better we like it. There is no theme, no boundaries, no limits, just like MXit; you can use a camcorder, a mobile phone or the video feature on your point-and-shoot, all we ask is that the clip is no longer than 60 seconds, it’s jam packed with crazy and smart – and lastly you keep it clean.

So… No pressure 

How it works:
Shoot your clip, then upload it to www.mxitmovies.com, and get your friends to rate your movie - and voila, you could be one of four MXit Movie winners! MXit will also choose one of the movie clips to use as a MXit ad on the net - so there’s the added bonus of being famous… sweet. 

To make it even easier, we’ve provided tips from an award-winning international commercial producer, and even a place for you to share ideas and brainstorm with our gurus on the MXit Forum (see www.forum.mxit.com)

Have we left anything out? Yes, we have! The prizes…

MXit will award the creator of the best peer-rated movie clip a whopping US $5000. The 2nd prize is US $2000, the third is US $500, and the clip that is chosen for the MXit ad will receive a prize of US $1000 and will be used in MXit’s online advertising campaign.

Is Generation Next the most creative generation? Hell yes, we are!
