To enter, submit a video that demonstrates why you should be selected to host the Ultimate Summer Beach Party on July 25, 2010. See rules for additional details.

10 semi-finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges on the basis of presentation and the ability to articulate clearly on camera and enthusiasm, a compelling original story, creativity, and the degree to which the entrant's residence and block is appropriately suited to host the Ultimate Summer Beach Party event.

The 10 semi-finalists will be judged again on the same basis by a new panel of judges to select 3 finalists. The finalists will then be contacted by the sponsor to conduct a telephone interview, which will be judged on the basis of articulation and confidence, ability to speak to a large group of people, personality, and enthusiasm. The score from the interview will be added to the judging score of the video to determine the grand-prize winner.

Entrants are not allowed to be professional actors or members of SAG, AFTRA, AGVA, Equity or any other guild or union associated with the performing arts.
