Back in January of this year, we launched a photography contest on Pixels.com with an amazing prize...
http://pixels.com/contests/national-tv-photo-contest-3.html?tab=overview
The winners of the contest would get to star in their very own Pixels.com TV commercials!
We received thousands of photo submissions from members all over the world, and in March, world-renowned photographer and guest judge, Anne Geddes, selected three winning photos.
The three winning photographers (Colt Forney, Don Mennig, and Rob Blair) each received an all-expenses-paid, weeklong trip to Los Angeles for themselves and their families so that they could meet the Pixels.com staff, tour our headquarters in Santa Monica, relax on the beach, and... star in their very own Pixels.com TV commercials.
The commercials are finished and scheduled to hit the air in October... and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out!
You can check them out on the following page:

I'm also embedding them at the bottom of this post.
The link, below, is for a blog post with an extensive behind-the-scenes look at the winners' trips to Los Angeles. You can see photos of the winners and their families... photos of the set locations... photos of the film crew at work... photos of the Pixels.com staff members relaxing with the winners in between takes... photos of the wrap party... etc.

Congratulations to Colt Forney, Don Mennig, and Rob Blair!
The commercials turned out exactly as we envisioned, and we plan on using them extensively throughout 2016 to transform Pixels.com into a household name for the benefit of all our members.

Sean,
Nicely done, will the exposure be only in the US? Pixels is going to be a much better sell in the EU. JMO

Also - Colt, you are crazy out of your mind! Tornados scare the crap out of me (I'm smart enough to be afraid of them LOL)
