Webtel.mobi offers $75000 Prize Money in International Video Ad Competition

Specialized Mobile Provider Webtel.mobi, whose ultra low cost mobile calling and texting service is revolutionizing the way people make phone calls, has partnered with Zooppa -  the world's largest social network focused on user-generated advertising, to offer over $75,000 in cash prizes to members of the public in an international advertising competition.

Webtel.mobi's competition with Zooppa runs from May 14th through July 10^th 2009, and is open to entrants from all countries. Entrants can submit entries recorded with any level or type of recording equipment – even mobile phones. The prize money is the highest total yet offered in an open online competition, and is reflective of the growing acceptance in the market that online-generated content has come to be regarded as a mainstream component of successful international advertising campaigns.

Zooppa is uniquely positioned to host the Webtel.mobi competition. Each company is at the leading edge of its industry. Webtel.mobi is the first company to combine the affordability of internet-initiated mobile calls & texts with the convenience of mobile technology. Zooppa is a leader in the booming user-generated advertising sector.

As Zooppa CEO Wil Merritt said, "It's great to team up with a company as forward-thinking as Webtel.mobi. This is the kind of project that really gets our creative community fired up."

Webtel.mobi’s brief included the opening of the competition to all entrants, regardless of their medium of filming. A spokesman for Webtel.mobi said “Our company recognises that personal excellence and skill don’t always have the backing of large budgets, so whether entrants submit content generated by mobile phone filming or professional edit suites – it’ll be the skill and innovation of the creators that is judged above all else”.
