Are you ready for your 15 minutes?
MTV and Mark Burnett Productions are on the lookout for anyone with a productive imagination but zero production dollars.
If that’s you prepare to take a chance at winning their own MTV Movie Award with the “2008 MTV Movie Spoof Contest.”
Beginning today, viral video gurus can submit original movie shorts parodying scenes from films over the last year to one of their favorite UGC sites.
The creators behind the submissions with the most votes will be flown out to Los Angeles to attend the “2008 MTV Movie Awards” and a chance to accept the coveted golden popcorn at the ceremony from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA on June 1.
“The MTV Movie Awards is the only awards show that offers an opportunity for regular Joes and Janes to rub elbows with megastars,” said Van Toffler, President, MTV Networks Music, Logo and Films Group. “These partnerships with key sites to create the ‘2008 MTV Movie Spoof Contest’ allow everyday viral video visionaries to share their twisted genius with their film idols and peers around the world.”
Submissions and voting begins today on Photobucket, MySpace, Daily Motion, and more.
The deadline for submissions is May 11th at 11:59pm EST. One finalist from each partner UGC site will move on to the final round on www.movieawards.mtv.com on May 19 where fans vote on who will become the winner of the BEST MOVIE SPOOF Award.
Good luck and here’s a photo of the show’s host, Mike Myers, from his latest — The Guru — to inspire you!
