The Great Canadian Commercial Contest Announces The Winners Of The April 2005 Event
The challenge was to create The Great Canadian Commercial in only 48 hours. Open to emerging and established filmmakers from across Canada, The Great Canadian Commercial is a first-of-its-kind annual event that took place on April 15, 2005.
Participants in the event were asked to create a 30-second public service announcement commercial for one charity from five selected for the event. The commercials were judged by broadcast producers from the top ad agencies in the city of Vancouver, Canada.
The five winners' work is available for viewing here. A DVD is available for purchase with all 44 spots.

If these are indeed "emerging and established filmmakers", Canada's in fuckn' trouble. Applause for the effort, but these ads are really lame and amateurishly executed.

PermalinkGiven the rules of the contest, I don't think the ads were that bad for PSAs.
