Britney Spears and her management are giving fans the chance to join in the fun of her album release on December 2 by showcasing their ‘Circus’ skills.
The contest is a collaboration between Britney.com and Buzznet which provides custom templates of circus-inspired album covers. Contest submissions involve fans photoshopping and placing themselves into these templates in fun and creative ways.
The submission of the grand prize winner will be featured on the homepage of Britney.com and Buzznet.com. The winner will also receive a personal Popcorn Machine and a full Britney Spears Discography and DVD collection.
Two runners up will also receive Britney’s full catalog and have a featured link on Britney.com to their contest entry.
I think this is a great promotion. Here at TrendHunter.com we have seen an obsession with everything Photoshop in 2008, so it is a smart move to utilize that in hyping Britney’s album release.
