Here’s a gentle reminder that you now have exactly one month left to submit your entries for the Waboba Asia Video Contest 2011. The closing date for entries is September 10.
The prize is a five-star holiday in Phuket, including flights to and from Phuket, two nights in a five-star hotel and $700US in cash. You’ll find details of the competition here. If you haven’t started already, get filming today.
We want to share some very exciting news with you. We have decided to work with 4 very special Waboba customers in planning individual Waboba tournaments in their city with their friends. The best part is, we’ll provide the balls, other goodies, and a $250 USD cash prize to each winning team! What better way to enjoy summer than plan a beach day with Waboba and your friends?
So who are these 4 lucky customers? We have no idea. You tell us.
Do you want to be 1 of the 4? It doesn’t matter where in the world you live. To help you decide, here are some basic rules, but other than that, you’re free to play as you please.
-3 people per team
-Have to have a team name
-Minimum of 6 teams
-You can play in the pool or open water – depending on location and preferences. If playing in a pool, we suggest playing by our pool game rules with the Waboba Blast. If playing in the ocean, lake, or river, play by official Waboba ball rules with the Waboba Pro.
-Work with us to promote your tournament by creating a Facebook event and getting people to sign up.
Since we can’t physically be there (unless you happen to live where one of us lives), it’s up to you to gather people to enter the tournament, create a Facebook event to invite friends, and pick the date and actual location (whether you want to play in a pool, lake, or ocean). Of course, we’ll help you spread the word and organize it as much as we can. We just want you to make a fun day out of it and have a blast with lots of laughs.
If you’re interested in working with us in planning a laid-back totally awesome fun tournament, please email jordan@waboba.com why we should pick you and your location. Are you game?
This is what you might call a ‘serving suggestion’ for the Waboba Asia Video Competition. It’s a little something I made with a box of Waboba Balls and my son’s spelling bricks.
Stop-motion animation is completely allowed, by the way, so if you feel your creative buds tingling, this is certainly a method you can consider. This was my first ever attempt at stop-motion. It’s shot on a Nikon D90, with a remote control that allowed me to shoot repeated shots without moving the camera or breaking my back. You’ll see that I initially forgot to set the lens to manual focus, but I’ll remember for next time.
The closing date for the Waboba Asia Video Competition 2011 is September 10, so you still have the whole summer to come up with something.
The first prize is a holiday in Phuket, including flights for two to Phuket from anywhere within Asia, plus two nights in a five-star hotel, plus $700 USD in cash. The competition rules are here.
Happy shooting.
