Online video blogging contests have been the latest craze for the past year – usually sponsored by big-time companies who wants their new service promos to spread like wildfire. But rarely do I see a video contest campaign that got the results they really want in terms of volume in entries. I avidly join these competitions and what I notice is that the participants who usually join are either bloggers, plurkers, or tweeters who creates their own videos. And they’re not that many.  Even spending hundreds of thousands on a TV ad is not an assurance of large entry numbers.

Well it seems Globe knows that by now. While I was uploading the latest VideoChops archive clip, I was surprised by a cool flash advertisement on the side bar.

Hey! That’s Paramihan Challenge! And what better way to pick up lots of QUALITY entries than plug it on YouTube right? It makes the most sense, but most haven’t realized the simple brilliance of it. So I guess now we would expect a tougher batch of participants and video makers  – and VideoChops will be on the look out of the ones that rock.

Now meet Johnny Stunts, the main man behind the Paramihan Challenge. Watch how many fishballs he could tusok-tusok with one stick:

How about you? Paramihan ng ano ang kaya mo?
