Video Contest
 The
Buzz Away Extreme $1,000 Slap Dance Video Contest. America’s
favorite natural repellent is looking for dance videos composed entirely
of mosquito slapping rhythms. A slap dance uses body percussion. The
idea is to slap, slide, whack or shuffle the mosquitoes off your body
in a sound-making rhythmic fashion. Do it to music or let the rhythms
you create become the music. Dances can be done solo, in a group,
combined with animation, etc. Make a video that doesn’t bite and win
$1,000 for best video, $250 for most viewed. Details and current entries
at www.buzzawayvideo.com
