Oh no you diden just refer to a bull crap corperate contest... Sombody called for a marx deconstruction...
(A)"TO BE ELIGIBLE TO BE A SEMI-FINALIST, PARTICIPANT MUST BE A LEGAL RESIDENT OF THE U.S. RESIDING IN ONE OF THE FIFTY (50) UNITED STATES OR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA THROUGHOUT THE CONTEST PERIOD."
Also you loose the right to what you made.
(B)"By submitting a Submission, Participant hereby agrees that:
a.In consideration of entering a Submission in the Contest, Participant on behalf of themselves, their heirs, executor, administrator and assigns, hereby assign to Sponsor all rights, interest and goodwill in the Submission, including an irrevocable grant to Sponsor of the exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license and right to broadcast, exhibit and/or otherwise use the Submission and every element thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner or medium now or hereafter known or devised, including but not limited to the possible use of the Submission by Sponsor on a Pepsi package, including but not limited to single serve cans, multi-pack packages and/or fountain cups) to be distributed through the Pepsi Bottling System some time in calendar year 2008."
(C)"Grand Prize:The Grand Prize consists of $10,000 cash. Grand Prize winner is solely responsible for any taxes on their prizes, and will receive an IRS Form 1099 for the value of their prize. No substitution of prize is offered, except at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Prizes are non-transferable."
Heres somthing that would probably put you off...
(D) "Submissions shall be judged as follows:
a.Originality 40%
b.Creativity30%
c.Strength of Pepsi Branding30%"
So what I dont get any marks for use of conventions, connotations, styles based on arts like abstract and so on or effective use of genre... Nope just origionallity, creativity and brand labeling... well fuck me charlie two of those are subjective and hard to define... but dont worry a gigantic pepsi logo printed all over it will guarentee you first place...
So for the thick c*nts... if you win yay a prize not fit for sucking eggs to because of (C) ITS TAXED... if you don't win they can still use your stuff on thier packaging and you cant sue them... because of (B)... And in the world of internet competitions they decided (A) only america can have it... this is why I dont drink pepsi... and I dont think I ever will.
(D) And if thats not enough thier rating system is a peice of garbage
I wouldn't mark the toilet paper I wipe my ass on on a crap scale like that... its disgraceful.. (hmm its creative and very origional.. oh thats right every design style has already been made... and there is a genre for everything and it has to follow the convention of a pepsi can so i guess there is no origionality in this competition what so ever... as for creativity... make the can with the sites very own limiting tools... and for the more creative dont use the sites tools but your own.. putting the site users at a disadvantage...)
Another bullshit competition for the chance to get ripped off. whoooo yeah... thanks for that.
