Watchmen is lining up to be an awesome motion picture adaptation. Everything we’ve seen from the production crew looks incredible, like the comic book has been brought to life. One thing is missing though – you! Now Zack Snyder and the Watchmen production team are giving you a chance to get involved, and possibly have something you create seen within the Watchmen movie.

Snyder has offered up the Watchmen “Veidt Enterprises Advertising Contest.” To enter, you create a commercial for a product created by Veidt Enterprises – ranging from sneakers to perfume. The commercials are voted on and the top 40 finalists win an autographed poster from Watchmen director Zack Snyder, the top five win high definition camcorders, and Snyder’s favorites will appear in the background of Watchmen.

Snyder does a much better job of explaining it than I do. Check out his explanation below (along with a sample entry) or head over to the main contest site for more information and downloadable assets, including the important Veidt logo.

Remember, this is the ‘80s, so go for big hair and corny fashion, as well as abstract and bizarre ideas like the sample below Snyder’s video.
