This isn’t a typical video competition, and you’re not required to use a Flip Mino digital camcorder, but Current.com is looking for submissions of “Viewer-Created Ad Messages (aka VCAM) — DIY commercials made by you. Our sponsors set the specs; you make the ad”.
You’ll get $2,500 if your VCAM ad airs on Current TV and up to $60,000 if the sponsors choose to use it elsewhere.Their current sponsors include Toyota Matrix and L’Oreal. Former sponsors include Wachovia, T-Mobile and XM Radio.

Don’t forget to read the contest rules carefully. For example, each sponsor has a different deadline for submission, so make sure to note each specific due date.

Wow, sixty grand is a lot of money! If you win that much, you’ve got to come back here and let me know… and maybe buy a camcorder case or two… or two hundred.
