Remember the last time you were on the phone with the cable company and they promised you a refund that never materialized? How about when your bank told you that they would rescind your overdraft fee, but for some reason it still showed up in this month’s statement? What if you had some way of making sure that businesses and people followed through on their commitments and promises to you? RecordMyCalls does just that by enabling users of any phone, from any location, to record their calls as they wish, anytime. Their highly reliable call recording service provides limitless secure storage and easy to use tools so you can playback, store, download and even transcribe your recordings into text, all for a reasonable price.

Create a 30 second commercial for RecordMyCalls demonstrating its effectiveness as a method for protecting yourself and for use as a business/legal productivity tool.

This contest will be worth a total of $5,000 and consist of four phases so there’s a place for all of you to contribute, regardless of your skill set.

PHASE 1: PITCH – In 500 characters or less, give us your Pitch for the commercial. Remember, a Pitch is not a detailed script; it is a brief synopsis or distillation of what will happen in the commercial.

PHASE 2: VIDEO – Select one of the 5 winning Pitches from Phase 1 (or one of the 5 scripts that will be available in the Project Files page at the start of Phase 2) and make a 30 second commercial for RecordMyCalls. You can, but do not have to literally interpret every piece of the Pitch. Think of it as a framework with a general theme or tagline that you should work within. Be creative, capture the essence, know the goal, and have fun with it.

--Note: In addition to the 5 Winning Pitches, there are 5 finished scripts that you may use in your video. This means that all video creators have the ability to select from 10 pieces of content (5 Scripts and 5 Pitches).

PHASE 2A: PREDICTION – Watch all the Videos and try to Predict which ones will win the contest.

PHASE 2B: MOST VIEWED – Whichever Videos gets seen the most times online (delivered by Tongal via embed, email or share) within the period of 20 days following the Video submission deadline will win the $250 bonus prize.

As always, be sure to read all of the Requirements before you begin.
