Our mission -- of spreading ideas around the world -- is supported in part by advertising. And we believe that advertising should evoke the same emotions a TEDTalk does -- it should make you think, make you respond, make you want to share -- a great idea, a product that makes the world better, an initiative that might change the world. Like YouTube, we want to see the same level of passion in online ads as we do in our TEDTalks. So, we’ve created a challenge called '
Ads Worth Spreading' to solicit the best ads that raise the bar, elevate the craft and invent new forms of online engagement.
We invite you to
enter the competition. Entries can be hysterically funny, stunningly beautiful, or just intriguing, fascinating, ingenious and persuasive. For inspiration, check out examples of great creative on
YouTube Show and Tell. It is free to enter, the submission deadline is February 7, 2011, and full contest rules are
right here.
We’re excited to see your ads worth spreading!
