“We launched the contest this year and were pleased with the number of entrants and quality of the videos submitted,” said Allegra Lowitt, vice president, Schawbel Corporation. “Entrants took the effort to convey the effectiveness of our Heated Insoles in many ingenious ways, making judging the competition quite challenging.”
 
Contestants in the video competition were challenged with creating a short video showing product usage of the ThermaCELL Heated Insoles in the field, with points accruing for innovative branding, consumer education and product placement frequency.

“We are honored to win the 2013 ThermaCELL Heated Insoles Video Challenge,” said Herald, host and producer of The Zone.  “ThermaCELL is one of my longest relationships in the outdoor industry. It is easy to promote products that you truly rely on. James, myself and our whole crew at Magnum Global Media are true believers in both ThermaCELL Heated Insoles and Mosquito Repellent. Our guys worked hard to build this project, and I am glad their effort produced a piece that shows viewers the benefits of this great product.”
 
The skit competition challenged the contestants to create footage of 30 seconds or less that provided information about the Heated Insoles that was entertaining, creative and included product education. Each contestant could submit up to three skits with their application.
