NFL Says You'll Make the Best Super Commercial Ever

Tuesday October 17, 2006
You know you've sat in front of the couch during the Super Bowl and wondered why advertisers paid millions for certain commercials to run during the big game. Now's your chance to get off the couch and get into the game yourself.

The NFL is calling all advertising fans to pitch their ideas for "the best NFL Super Bowl commercial ever." The winner may see the winning pitch turned into a commercial for Super Bowl XLI.

Is there a catch? Sort of. To pitch your idea you have to appear at Giants Stadium in New York, Texas Stadium in Dallas or Invesco Field in Denver on certain dates.

More on the NFL's Contest:

If the prize-winning pitch gets turned into a commercial, the winner is invited to the production set to see the finished ad. A VIP trip to Super Bowl XLI and NFL gifts are also included in the winner's package.

Fans can also get into the game online. They will have the chance to vote online to determine the winner. While voting, they get the chance to enter a sweepstakes that will take them to Super Bowl XLI in Florida.

This isn't the first call for a consumer generated Super Bowl XLI commercial. Chevrolet is making a major push to promote its Super Bowl College Ad Challenge. That contest is only open to college students.
