JoinAbout this contest
The Superpages Mobile App is an award-winning, popular app for searching local businesses. It’s available for download today at the iTunes App Store, Amazon. Check out the current TV commercial here.
It has a user-friendly design and functionality that features a wheel at its center. This interface provides a novel and much simpler way for consumers to search for local businesses. When you need reliable local information like phone numbers, directions, gas prices, deals, movie times or even weather, it’s easy and kind of fun to find. There are several search options too…you can search by spinning the wheel, pressing a button to simply speak the business name or what you are looking for, or you can search the ‘old school’ way by typing in a description. Even more exciting, our newest feature allows you to ‘shake out’ the least relevant results – by simply shaking the phone itself – and keeping the results that match closest to their search criteria. All this, in an app that can be downloaded for FREE.
Now that you know all about the interesting and easy to use features, we want you to show us the app in action. Help show the world how fun and easy this app is by showing how a funny or unique situation was resolved when using the app.
To get a better feel for the app, download it at the iTunes App Store, Google Play or Amazon.

Your mission
Create a video, 1-3 minutes long showing the Superpages Mobile App solving a funny or unique need.
We’re not looking for commercials, or ads about the Superpages company. We are looking for fun, engaging and interesting stories told through video about the app solving a funny, unique, and engaging situation. Take us through a person’s journey with the app. Make it a crucial plot point in a romantic comedy. Make it the key to solving a mysterious crime. Maybe it’s the only thing that gets you through your interview for a tour guide job.
We are looking for videos that are entertaining, interesting and make the viewer curious enough about the app that they’ll download and use it. It can be as quirky and outlandish as the “Messin’ with Sasquatch” story line from Jack Links Beef Jerky or as heartfelt as a Hallmark commercial. Whatever resonates and makes the viewer want to look for the Superpages App in their app store.
