Do you want to have 15 seconds of fame? I think most people do – even if they don’t admit it. I know I would love to be famous, even if it literally is only for 15 seconds.
There are also people who had their 15 seconds of fame last for way too long. I won’t mention names but one is a young male singer from north of the boarder. Ha Ha.
Staples would like to make YOU a star – a star in their new commercial that is. Winners will appear in Staples national back-to-school television advertisements.
There is a Staples commercial that they air around back-to-school time that always makes my husband and I laugh. It’s the one with the happy father collecting school supplies and his children dragging along behind him with sad looks on their faces. The song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” is playing in the background.
LOL! Every time I watch that I crack up.
That commercial was from the mid-90’s. Now it’s time for a brand new back-to-school commercial and that is where Staples needs YOUR help.
They are asking parents, grandparents, teens and/or children to enter the Staples Make 15 Seconds of Fame Happen contest. Entrants are asked download the song (found on the submission website), create a video of themselves or others doing the “shopping cart dance”, fill out the entry form and upload the video on the submission site. That’s it! It’s that easy.
You are allowed to submit one video per person per day. That means you can make more than one video and upload a new one each day to increase your chances of being selected.
Submissions will be accepted from June 2, 2014 – June 23, 2014 (5:00 PM EST). The winners will be announced on July 8, 2014.
Staples is selecting 40 submissions to star in back-t0-school commercials. I like that they are choosing a large number of people. It increases your chances of being selected.
In addition to being seen nationwide in a commercial the winners will also receive a $250 Staples gift card. That should give you even more reasons to dance.
The more creative the better. If you need a little inspiration check out the brief videos below.
These dances crack me up too. LOL!
As you can see you don’t need a shopping cart either. You can use an imaginary cart. Just imagine you are shopping at Staples and finding all the essentials supplies you need on sale at fabulous discount prices. That is another reason to want to dance. It’s a “happy dance”.
