Any good high school dunkers out there?
This is a contest for you.
Got this from a publicist who reads Slamonline…
“We’re looking to spread the word to your readers about a unique opportunity for High School basketball players. Those who think they can who can rise above the rim and throw down a serious dunk are encouraged to prove it by entering a video in the POWERADE Dunk DominatION4 contest. If their celebration of elevation stands out from the rest, they will star in a national POWERADE commercial.
From now until March 18, high-risers are encouraged to upload a video of their most innovative and powerful jam on the POWERADE Dunk DominatION4 page at http://www.takkle.com/powerade. The winning video will have a chance to be featured in a national POWERADE commercial during the 2009 POWERADE Jam Fest on March 30. If you’re unfamiliar with Jam Fest, it is a skills competition for the country’s top high school basketball players competing in the McDonald’s All-American Game.
Dunks will be judged by a panel of experts, including 2002 McDonald’s All-American Game alumnus and recent all-star Amar’e Stoudemire. Videos should be no longer than 20 seconds and will be judged by the following criteria:
50% innovation
25% power
25% overall appeal
The POWERADE Dunk DominatION4 contest celebrates the introduction of the new POWERADE ION4, featuring four of the electrolytes lost in sweat. Most sports drinks contain only two electrolytes, but studies show that athletes lose more than that when they sweat. POWERADE ION4 contains four of the key electrolytes in the same ratio that they’re lost. No other sports drink does that.”
Check it out…and make Slamonline proud!
