How I participated in the Expose Freelancer.com Logo and win $ 25,000 in Prizes contest

At one time, however, for quite some time, I worked part-time on various freelance sites, sometimes quite successfully. But then, for a number of reasons, this case was abandoned. Nevertheless, from time to time, mailings from these sites come to me. And about a month ago, I see in my inbox a letter from www.freelancer.com with a proposal to participate in a contest for the promotion of their logo:

After watching a selection of videos of winners of previous years, in which the logo was spinning in the air, under water and crowds of Indians, it became clear that a lone programmer has little chance of winning one of ten prizes.

Nevertheless, something continued to spin in the brain. I wanted to tear myself away a bit from the monotonous everyday life, to be creative not in my field, to get a little new experience, and maybe a little adrenaline. But all my initial ideas required resources that I did not have.
Once again I examined the list of prizes. One of them was for the presentation of the logo near the attraction. And since I live in Volgograd, we have a suitable attraction:

But this monument is a serious one, you understand. So the unsolicited thought of somehow using it to promote some kind of logo I immediately discarded. But then he paid close attention to the disgusting fence of the Red October factory, located almost opposite the national shrine:

And so the idea of ​​my PR campaign and video was born - to slightly decorate this nightmare with a nice banner with a bird. Here, in fact, what I did:



Frankly, the implementation is not very. Naturally, I won no prize. But he had fun and wrote this little article. Maybe they’ll let me go to Megamind.
