G.I. JOE: The Movie TRAILER CONTEST


In the hands of G.I. Joe, the Broadcast Energy Transmitter is a device capable of fulfilling all of Earth’s energy needs. However, in the hands of Cobra and the newly revealed Cobra-La, led by the ancient and otherworldly Golobulus the B.E.T. could spell the end of human civilization.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TRAILER TO THIS HOME VIDEO RELEASE IS IN YOUR HANDS?

Shout! Factory is inviting all G.I. Joe fans to try their hand in making a trailer for this Blu-ray + DVD release. Here is how it works:

  1. Entries accepted 5/26 – 8/16/10. One entry per person only. Submission should be made in the form of a low-resolution Quicktime (.mov) file. It should be uploaded to a file sharing service (YouSendIt, MediaShare, etc.) with the link emailed to YoJoe@ShoutFactory.com. If selected, we will request a high-resolution version.

  2. Entries can only be received via email and must include entrant's name, email, phone # and address in the body of the email.
