A new contest has been unveiled for Watchmen, and it's one where fans can create a commercial to appear in the film itself. Snyder posted the information about the contest to YouTube, along with downloads for assets to be used in the commercial.

In the contest, fans will create advertisements for Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias, who is running for public office in the film. The top 20 spots, judged by Snyder himself, will win $1000, and have the opportunity to be included in the film.
