Awards $4,000

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2ND SELECTION! Heinz has awarded their 2nd Selection!! Congratulations to the animated Backyard BBQ on earning $1,000! Please see our blog for the full announcement. Thanks for your patience! Drew

Uploaded Poppers Videos Gang- We are still working with Heinz, the videos that we have uploaded to the site are those that we have received permission to upload. I expect to be able to upload more in the coming week. We'll keep you informed as there is new information.

Thanks!

Poppers... Gang- As some of you know, and many may not, working with multi-national, multi-billion dollar companies is an arduous process. Poppers is still reviewing submissions to determine what they want to represent their brand. Turnaround time for startups...eager to get a message out as fast as possible can be quick, but when it is a huge company (such as Heinz Poppers) they don't need a rushed message, they need the RIGHT message. We will keep everyone updated when they make their selections via our blog. The project is not, and will not become, dead...there just isn't anything to report prior to selections. Selected creators will, as always, be notified via e-mail one day prior to making the announcement public on our blog. Thanks!

Submission Anything that was uploaded and functioning on the site was downloaded and accepted as a submission prior to being removed. Though ALL submissions (as stated in the guidelines were to be e-mailed). If you would like to verify further please give me a brief idea of what your submission was and I'll verify we received it. Thanks!

Selections.... The client essentially has as much time as they need to make a decision. We will encourage them to be prudent with the timeliness of their selection. Once a selection is made we will first contact the creator via e-mail, and will then announce the selected submissions to our community via our Genius Blog. Thanks!

Extension... There will not likely be an "official" extension. Get your submission in to Poppers@GeniusRocket.com as quickly as possible...

@Call to Action... Poppers are available in both channels currently, the call to action we are looking for is around the “Just the Right Kick” product which is not yet in either channel. The timing in the RFB is correct.

@Storyboards Poppers is looking, in the end, for a video submission. You may enter a storyboard, and then find someone on GeniusRocket to assist you in the creation of a video (if your feedback from the storyboard leads you to believe your idea would fair well in the final selection process). Our "Help Wanted" section will allow you to post for help in creation of a video. Thanks!

Video Submissions Using the "Launch It" button you will form a "Project Group" inside that group is a button to "Submit Project". By clicking the "Submit Project" button you will be taken to a video submission screen that has all the details on what file format we accept etc...

From a Poppers Brand Manager * They won’t light your hair on fire but if you don’t like heat you won’t like the new popper * After eating one you’ll know that you just ate a jalapeños snack but it won’t leave you running to get a glass of water * Spicy enough that if you like heat you’ll like the new popper but not hot enough to be part of a fraternity initiation stunt
