SELF SUBMISSIONS

simon max hill casting

Hey there! Welcome to the submission page for the Vrbo “College Football” commercial. This is the submission page for the Friends & Family submissions – if you’re looking for the Ugly Cryer or Everyday Person or Sports Fan submission page,
you’re in the wrong place!

This page has everything you need to submit for the project – except for your info and media, of course. Once you submit, our client will review your media and decide if they want to hire. At that point we’ll reach out to your talent rep, or if you don’t have one, directly to you to hire. If you’re curious about the status of the project, you can check on it at our Now Casting page.
DEADLINES FOR SUBMISSION
Sooner is always better, but! Here’s two deadlines for those of you who like then:
DEADLINE 1 – End of Day Thursday June 29, 2023
DEADLINE 2 – End of Day Wednesday, Jul 5, 2023 <- this is the absolute latest to get us your submission, at least with regards to having our client look at it before July 6

SELF-SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

To be considered for the project, you’ll need follow the steps below:
1) Get your media in order – see the list below for the media you’ll need to submit. A cell phone is the ideal device for this – we’re not looking for a pro photo shoot!
LIST OF MEDIA
1. [PHOTO] Photo of your group – the whole family, the group of friends, the brothers or siblings
2. [VIDEO] A 30-60 second video of everyone in your group together, introducing one another and telling us about them
3. [PHOTO] Another photo of your group
OPTIONAL MEDIA
4. [PHOTO] Individual photos of every member of your group
5. [PHOTO] Additional photos of your group (keep the total below 6, please!)
5. [VIDEO] Additional videos of members of your group – if you couldn’t all be together for the other video, record individually!
2) Double check that you have all the media requested above, because the form will not accept your submission without all required media.
3) Submit your media+info to us! Use the link below to do so.

SUBMISSION LINK

CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT


Quick FAQ about the submissions link:
If you don’t fill out all required text fields + upload all required media, your submission will be rejected by the system.
It works best with Google Chrome on a Mac. It usually works with PCs phone / tablets as well, but we haven’t tested it extensively on those platforms.
If you are submitting long videos, the upload will take minutes. You should see a little “upload progress” indicator somewhere on the page.
You should get a confirmation of upload success, either a green banner along the top or a page that says “Submission Accepted!”
