Artbeats Celebrates Launch of FootageHub with $40,000 Scavenger Giveaway

Finding the perfect clip now comes with an added benefit. Artbeats, the industry's leading creative royalty-free stock footage resource, has introduced an online scavenger hunt in celebration of the industry's newest all-inclusive stock footage service, Artbeats FootageHub. Taking place now through Jan. 31, 2010, the Artbeats $40,000 Scavenger Giveaway provides participants weekly opportunities to win free stock footage collections, software packages and industry resources. All successful searchers will also receive automatic entry in the Scavenger Giveaway Grand Prize drawing featuring a top-of-the-line MacBook Pro laptop, thousands of dollars worth of Artbeats stock footage and incredible software prizes from renowned industry developers Adobe, Boris FX, CoreMelt, Maxon, NewBlueFX, Red Giant Software, Smartsound, Total Training and VASST.

How it Works

Each week Artbeats will randomly select a still image representative of a stock footage clip available for purchase via Artbeats FootageHub. The image will be placed on the $40,000 Scavenger Giveaway homepage, as a clue. Contestants must then utilize Artbeats' easy-to-use keyword search function to locate the clip at www.artbeats.com. The “$40,000 Scavenger Giveaway” icon will appear on the sought-after clip's detail page and upon locating, participants must simply click the found icon to ensure their submission. Participants must utilize or obtain an official Artbeats account log-in to enter. No purchase is necessary to participate.
