ExxonMobile Seeks Gas-saving Tips in Video Contest

ExxonMobil is running a video contest inviting consumers to submit a two-minute video illustrating one or more gas- and money-saving tips.

The Drive Smarter Challenge offers a $5,000 reward to the winner.

People can enter through Sept. 20. As an incentive to start filming, the first 80 entries receive a $25 ExxonMobil Gift Card and a Car Care Council Car Care Guide.

A viral component lets entrants spread the word to up to six friends.

The contest supports ExxonMobil’s ongoing fuel efficiency campaign, the Drive Smarter Challenge sponsored by the Alliance to Save Energy and 16 other nonprofit, governmental, trade association and for-profit partners.

The videos will be posted at the Web site and once the finalists are selected, the public will cast votes for the winner.

The second-place winner will have a choice between one VIP NASCAR Race Package, which includes two tickets and two garage/pit passes to a race, or one VIP Indy Racing League Package, including two tickets and two garage/pit lane passes to an event, plus a ride in a specially modified Indy car driven by a pro driver.

Third-place winners will take the prize package not selected by the second-prize winner. Fourth place receives a set of four Michelin Energy Saver All Season Tires, a one-year AAA membership, and two Silver Spoke League of American Bicyclists memberships.
