Looks like the Firefox team has come up with a new bright idea for Marketing. Apparently they have set up a new site that proposes the following contest:
Come up with a new, intuitive, and unique idea to spread the word of Firefox. By setting up a huge 3.5 Ft Fathead poster where you live. The key idea here is to place the sticker where people will see it, and in an interesting place where it can give the message that Firefox is more advanced than other browsers in speed, functionality, standards, and security. In other words: Spread the WORD!
This poster, usually valued at $69.95 at the Mozilla store, is provided free of charge to the winners. Only 50 teams will be chosen and judged based on FOUR cornerstones, which are:
Performance, Customization, Security, and Community.
As an added bonus, there are prizes for the chosen few. First place gets a MACBOOK Pro, and secondary prices receive Nintendo Wii. Their Website seems to state only 3 Nintendo will be available. Makes me wonder what the other 46 applicants receive…
Also, something that truly dissapoints me, the contest is only avaialble in certain contries, which are:
Japan, China, USA, New Zealand, and Canada.
Very sad indeed. I guess it can’t be helped though. Applications are due by November 9 of 2007.
