What is it?

UpperDeckUltimateFan.com is looking for the ultimate football fan: it could be you! Fans can submit video,pictures or a written entry showing how fanatical they are about their favorite NFL team, and we’ll post them to the website. The best entry, as judged by Upper Deck,will win the Ultimate Ticket Package!

What’s an Ultimate Ticket Package anyway?

Our way of rewarding you for showing pride in your team! The winner will get twenty tickets to an NFL game for his or her hometown team (for either the 2009 or 2010 season pending availability), $1,500 in tailgate party cash, and their own Upper Deck NFL trading card. That’s right: we’ll put your fanatical face on a card that will be included in a 2010 football product.

Seriously, I get my own Upper Deck card?

Yup. And we won’t even make you run sprints at the combine.

Will I get a copy of the card?

If you ask nicely.

How do I submit a picture or video?

Click here to visit the entry page. The most important thing is to link us to your video or picture. This means you’ll need to find a place to host it.

How or where do I host my entry?

You’ll probably want to use Flickr or YouTube. Click on the links to sign up and register if you don’t have an account. Once you’ve uploaded your picture or video, simply send us the link on the entry page (along with your contact info), and you’ll be set.

I don’t want you guys to show my video, or use my likeness anywhere.

Then why did you send it to us, eh? All media submitted to us can be used for Upper Deck for promotional purposes, and we can use your likeness on things. Like your own freakin’ NFL card, which is damn cool. So stop worrying so much.

What if I don’t want my friends or family to see me decked out in facepaint and my hair dyed to my team’s colors?

Shouldn’t you be more worried about washing that stuff off in time for work tomorrow morning? Especially if you’re a Vikings fan, that purple hair will look ridiculous.

We’re sure your family and friends already know about what a fanatic you are, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to them. No need to be ashamed.

Can I submit a video of when I dressed up in black and grey Raiders chain mail to the Super Bowl back in 2003?

Nope. Any content needs to be original and created for this purpose to be eligible. Sorry you guys lost by the way, that game was quite the horrific blowout.

Can I submit more than one entry?

Sure, but don’t go crazy now. Your facepaint is impressive the first time, but by the fifth entry we’re going to get sick of you.

What’s the difference between Crazy Fans and Official Entries?

The Crazy Fans section shows off some of football’s most passionate fans, but are not entries into the contest. All of the pictures and videos fans submit to us get entered under Official Entries.

What if I shoot my video with some friends?

One entry per video please. If you win, we hope you take any friends who helped you shoot the video to the game with one of your twenty tickets. Otherwise, you’re really not a very good friend.

If I shoot the video with friends, who gets to be on an Upper Deck card?

If you’re the focus of the video, you’re the one that should be submitting the clip. Whoever blows us away with their fanaticism gets to be on the card. If you’re behind the camera, you should submit your own entry instead of moping around. Stop being so shy.
