The two “Crash the Super Bowl” winners – “When Pigs Fly” and “Middle Seat” – will now compete for a $1 million grand prize and an opportunity unlike any other in the history of the contest: a maxresdefault.jpgchance to work as a contractor for a full year onsite at Universal Pictures in Hollywood. This marks the first time a consumer-created Doritos finalist ad from outside the U.S. has seen air time during The Big Game.

 

Attracting nearly 4,900 submissions from 29 countries, one Aussie, Armand de Saint-Salvy, made it to the final 10 entries of the competition and has been awarded $US25,000 as a finalist.

His ad, ‘Doritos Manchild‘, has racked up over 430,000 views on YouTube and gained media attention from around the world.
