Not that ABC needs any help with creating mind-blowing promo's for it's big promotion of Lost's final season, but the network launched a fan promo contest allowing fans to create their own promovideo for the show's final season, which will air prior to the series finale. "For the past six years, the fans of Lost have shown extreme passion and unwavering commitment. They've spent countless hours watching and re-watching episodes, and formulating their own theories about the island's mysteries," said Mike Benson and Marla Provencio, exectuive vice presidents of marketing for ABC Entertainment Group. "We invite the entire Lost fan community to play an active part in the series' final season by participating in the 'Ultimate Fan Promo Contest' and look forward to celebrating their creativity and passion like never before."
Starting this week, fans can visit ABC.com to create and submit their own original 35-second promo. The winner will see his/her video air an entire week before the much anticipated series finale on May 23. Alongside the winner will get a trip to Los Angeles to attend the series' special finale party.
Sponsored by Kia Motors, the contest is not your average cheap way to interest fans with lousy equipment. ABC.com opened up it's archive of video, still images, music, sound bites and special effects audio that fans can use to create their pieces. Additionally, the site is offering an online mash-up tool that can be used to create videos. Original promos can be uploaded through March 21. The top original entries will be evaluated by no one less than executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, as well as executives from ABC Entertainment. Fans can vote for their five top videos from April 19 to April 23 to cast their vote for the Grand Prize winner.
