Have a crack at our ad and win a year’s free power

Here is your challenge. Re-make our Fresh Electrons TV ad and you will go in the draw to win a year’s free power. The winner will be decided by a combination of comments supporting you on Facebook and an Electric Kiwi staff vote.

Here’s how it works
  • We are not expecting this to be flash, just grab your phone and shoot it.
  • You do not have to have any props or keep 100% to the script. Have some fun with it.
  • Upload your video to our Facebook page (either directly or by sharing a YouTube or Vimeo link)
  • Share the post with your friends and ask them to comment on that post. The comments contribute 50% to you winning!
  • The winner gets a year’s free power (up to a value of $3,000)
Timeframes
  • Entries must be in by 12th August 2018
  • Comments will not be counted after 26th August 2018
  • The winner will be announced around 31st August 2018
The rules
  • No professionals. This is a competition for amateurs.
  • Entry is open to NZ residents and citizens.
  • You have to be a customer to claim the prize (you can join to do this).
  • Videos must not be longer than 45 seconds.
  • Your ad may not include defamatory content, offensive language, sexual content, discrimination against any individual or group.
  • Please make sure you own the rights to any material you post. As a general rule if you didn’t make it don’t use it.
  • We reserve the right to reject any ad in our sole discretion. Related to this, we should make it clear that we are the only people who can approve ads.
  • Please do not get bots to comments on your post. Fake looking comments will lead to disqualification.
Hints on how to win
  • Watch the ad and download the script
  • You don’t need to keep to the script, but try to get the general idea across (maybe your farmer is a fisherman, maybe the kid is the adult and the adult is the kid – feel free to mix it up)
  • Be funny and light hearted
  • Shoot your video landscape
  • You do not need to cover the whole ad if you don’t want to
  • Get your friends to comment

  • Your video will get a rating out of 100 by Electric Kiwi staff
  • The two scores are added together
  • The video with the most points wins
