Global Project: Have Fun with the Chrome Icon
If you thought you had nothing to do this weekend but sit around all day and be bored, then Google has something to lighten your mood. The Mountain View-based company has launched a new project and everyone from all over the world is invited to join in and have some fun. All you have to do come up with a video of you having fun with Google Chrome’s icon.
Jason Toff, from the Google Chrome Team, explains: “We are announcing a new global project. Your task? Film yourself building the Google Chrome icon in a creative way, with whatever materials, as big, small, or crazy as you want. We will feature the best submissions. A handful of Googlers and a couple of our friends created some sample videos for inspiration. Check them out [here]. We can't wait to see the clever ways that you build the Google Chrome icon.”
Here are the technical bits and pieces you need to be made ware of:
- The video you come up with must be 15 to 60 seconds long
- All videos must be submitted to YouTube (click here to submit).
- All entries must be submitted by the 22nd of July, 2009.
- All entries must “capture the process of you building your creation”. That would be the creation that resembles the Chrome icon.
- It does not matter where you live, the competition is open to users from all over the world.
- The best entries will be featured on YouTube and Google.
A word of encouragement from Jason Toff: “We know from past experience that users are the ones who come up with the coolest stuff. So with that, we now turn the challenge to YOU to make a video showing the formation of the Google Chrome icon in a big, unusual or creative way. Imagine a bird's eye view of a parking lot with carefully arranged cars, coordinated outfits in a stadium's bleachers, a 10,000 M&M mural, etc. We are excited to see what you come up with and we'll showcase the best submissions!”
Additional details about the competition are available here.
