Back in March of 2010 I was one of the finalists in Fidelity Investment’s “Be the Green Line” video contest. For that one, filmmakers were supposed to show someone actually acting like the “green line” you see in Fidelity commercials. I was up against a handful of crappy videos and one excellent, very well made entry. I never mind losing a video contest as long as I lose to a decent video. And this was one of those cases. I lost but the winning video was great so I just kind of forgot about the contest.
But before the winners were selected, I mentioned the fact that I made the finals here on this blog. Man…I guess that was 13 months ago now. I’m able to keep track of what web pages people visit when they look at this site and for some weird reason, my post about the Fidelity contest is one of the most popular posts I’ve ever done on VCN. I can also tell what google search terms visitors use to find this site and “Be the Green Line winner” pops up at least twice a week. I don’t know why people are interested in a video contest that ended more than a year ago but I bet that Fidelity still has some kind of promo for the contest up on some forgotten web page. People see the promo and realize by now the winners would have been picked long ago so they go searching for the results. But I don’t think the results exist anywhere except in the minds of the contestants. So for the sake of posterity, here is the winner of Fidelity Investment’s 2010 “Be The Green Line” video contest. Oh and also the winning video is worth watching because the girl in it looks ridiculously hot in the first scene.
