DareJunkies.com Launches With $10,000 Giveaway for Winner of Most Outrageous Video Challenge

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 30, 2007 -- DareJunkies.com, a brand new video challenge social networking site, launched today by calling on members to submit one to two-minute videos of their most outrageous, absurd and hilarious deeds. With humor and imagination comes financial gain as one winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize by accepting one of the various challenges on the List. The challenge will begin on February 15, and run through February 28. While submissions are restricted to US residents, anyone in the world can vote for the winner from March 1 to 15; the winner will be announced on March 25.

DareJunkies.com, a user-generated video site, encourages users to select from a list of challenges written by comedy writers. These "scripts" provide the impetus for users' creative submissions. DareJunkies.com has taken social networking and video sharing to a new level where artistic and competitive individuals are stimulated by the interconnectivity of its community. Users can also post their own creative challenges for pending approval from the DareJunkies team and then send their challenges to friends and other members of the community. At the end of every month, the top ten videos split a cash prize that will begin at $5,000 and the money will continue to increase monthly. DareJunkies.com sets itself apart from the crowd because it gives aspiring content makers, filmmakers, actors and anyone with a camera and a dream, the opportunity to shoot a video with a purpose, showcase their work and win cash.

"DareJunkies.com gives actors, would-be actors and content makers a purpose, motivation, and a way to deal with conflict -- all necessary elements of great entertainment. The challenges essentially provide a blueprint," said Ben Bacal, CEO and co-founder of DareJunkies.com. "We provide users a set of great, safe and entertaining scripts that we call challenges. Money only further motivates people to submit content. There's a lot of raw talent out there that is not exposed to the people making the decisions to purchase or air their materials," he added.

Similar to other social networking sites, DareJunkies.com users can input personal information and add friends. Additionally, fame is attainable for those who consistently produce quality work as they will be featured in the site's winners circle for every month that they are voted in the top ten videos. The site is slated to launch on January 30 and is free to sign up.
