’Free the Bowl’ Video Contest Deadline Looms

Marin Institute extended the deadline for their 3rd annual ’Free the Bowl’ video contest until tomorrow, Jan. 27, at midnight. First prize is $1,000.

“We heard from young people across the country that this winter’s nasty weather interfered with their production schedules,” said Michael Scippa, Marin Institute’s public affairs director. “So we’re giving them 3 more days to enter their counter-beer-ads.”

Marin Institute called in Nov. 2010 for brief, (under a minute) original, anti-beer ads (music, dance, rap or spoken word) from contestants 10 to 20 years old.

The contest provides a forum for young people to use “performance art” to tell Big Alcohol, Media, and NFL executives, “Stop Exploiting Us With Your Beer Ads,” said Scippa.
