Independent film makers from 32 countries are offering their interpretations of Chevrolet's "Everyday Hero" for a chance to have their 30-second ad aired during the telecast of Super Bowl XLVI. Now, fans can cash in by sharing with their friends their favorite spot among the top 35 entries featured on ChevroletRoute66.MSN.com. Chevrolet and MOFILM, a global creative community, received 197 entries from film makers across the globe. The best spot as determined by Chevrolet will be shown during the big game on Feb. 5, 2012. "With Chevrolet Route 66, we wanted to tap into the talents of creative people from every corner of the Earth to discover our next Super Bowl ad," said Joel Ewanick, GM vice president and global chief marketing officer. "The submissions we received show that people from around the world share many of the same values and how Chevrolet plays a role in helping them along life's road." Beginning Dec. 22 and running through 6:59 p.m. EST on Jan. 25, 2012, eligible fans from Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Mexico, the United Kingdom and United States can watch, rate and share their favorite Chevrolet Route 66 film. Those who share their personalized link to the videos most often and give the most creative answer to the question "if you could drive to any destination in your home country, where would you go?" could win up to $10,000. To engage fans, Chevrolet turned to Microsoft Advertising to create a contest hub to house and share the videos that offers a personalized experience with the ability to localize and share the global films. "Because Chevrolet is sold in many countries, 'crowd-sourcing' content globally is a great way to find creative advertising that resonates with consumers," said Ewanick. "Using that same concept, we hope to have fans identify their favorite ads for us by voting with their 'clicks' and sharing with friends." The Microsoft hub will identify registrants with unique user codes that will allow them to accumulate points every time they share with another fan. The top fans as measured by sharing will be tracked by the contest site leader board. To be sure the contest is won by a real person and not a web "bot," the contest site will ask viewers to "confirm" by entering a valid email address. Fans can enter the contest and view complete program details by visiting the contest website. Winners will be announced the within two weeks following the conclusion of the contest.
