“Dream Big” with SmartyPig on YouTube and Bring Home The Bacon

SmartyPig Dream Big Video Contest

We’ve heard so many great stories from you – our customers – and now we want you to share your dreams with us on YouTube for a chance to win $2,500. Here’s Erica with more info:

So what are you saving for? A dream vacation? College fund? Home improvements? We want to hear all about it! Be sure to tell us how saving with SmartyPig has helped you dream big, and turn those dreams into a reality. Here are some tips and ideas to get you started with your video:

  • What current dreams are you saving for?
  • How is saving with SmartyPig different?
  • How has saving with SmartyPig taught you to save better?
  • How have SmartyPig’s social savings tools helped you spread the word about your saving goals?
  • How has saving with SmartyPig changed your life?

We’re giving one lucky, creative filmmaker $2,500 towards his or her SmartyPig goal, and five runners-up will receive $500 each towards their goals. All you need is a video recording device (Flip Cam, iPhone, webcam, etc.), a YouTube account, a great story and the ability to bring in the votes. The winner of the contest will be selected based on the number of views and five star ratings they get on their video submission as well as creativity and originality.

So get inspired, get creative, and start capturing your SmartyPig dreams on video. The SmartyPig “Dream Big Video Contest” will launch on YouTube on September 24, 2009. You have until October 5, 2009 to submit your video entry. Winners will be announced on October 13, 2009. Full contest details and rules can be found here.

    Could you possibly extend the deadline? Two weeks seemed too short. It would be nice to see more entries, and with only 14 entries, the chance of someone winning is 43 percent! Plus, I like many other users log on maybe once a month. As of result, I missed the contest completely.

    I agree – Wish the contest had been at least 2 months to submit something. Really would have liked to participate and hope SP does another contest in the near future!
