Commercial Contest Judging Extended

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

We had so many great, creative commercial contest entries that our staff is having difficulty coming to an agreement on the 3 finalists. We want to make sure that each video is fully evaluated based on the criteria, so we have decided to extend the judging. We expect to have the results by next week and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your patience!

Sincerely,
Team Batter Blaster
