Wanted
big Rock beer commercials

You've watched the Emmy's, you've applauded the Oscars, now get ready for the Eddies.

Do you long to see your name up in lights? Does the promise of fame and fortune pulsate though your veins? (Does Big Rock beer frequently flow through your veins?) Are you still searching for a way to break into the film or advertising industry and gain the recognition you deserve among your artistic peers? Do you simply like to have a good time?

Big rock invites amateur and professional filmmakers and advertisers to enter the
Best Big Rock Beer Commercial Contest.

Give us your best and brightest 60 second rendition of what Big Rock means to you. No holds barred, just make sure that, like our beers, it's in good taste.

The fourth annual "Eddies", fondly named after big Rock's founder Ed McNally, provides a vehicle for amateur and professional film makers to showcase their talent while simultaneously winning recognition and prizes. The granddaddy of commercials will receive $3,000.00 with the second place winner receiving $2,000.00 and the third place winner, $1,000.00.

Past winning commercials, include Duelling Bottles, Big EROCKtica, Da Beers, Last Rock at the Big Rock Brier and Allegro Spiritoso Con Big Rock.

Upon submission, all commercials will be viewed and judged by a panel of highly talented local celebrities. The judges will then select a small and exceptional group of twenty finalists. All finalists will be contacted by mail and will receive two complimentary tickets to the awards gala.

The highly coveted and immensely prestigious awards ceremony will take place at the following locations on the respective dates:

Calgary May 13, 1997 Jack Singer Concert Hall

Toronto May 8, 1997 the St. Lawrence Centre
