Firefox ad contest
Mozilla Corp. and the Vail Film Festival have teamed up to create a
Firefox ad contest called "Firefox Flicks." The contest involves
creating a killer ad for Firefox, then having said ad judged by some Hollywood folks, and hopefully winning loot

juggernauts. But of course, you want to know what loot you can win, right? Top prize is a $5,000 gift certificate to
B&H. Second place is one of those swanky 9x triple-LCD screens, and third prize is an Alienware Media Center PC.

leading ads will be shown at the Vail festival though, if that floats your boat. Naturally there's a wealth of banners,
and more stuff on the Firefox Flicks blog.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
