Messin’ With…out Sasquatch
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on September 3rd, 2010
Jack Link’s® Beef Jerky is offering student filmmakers a chance to create their own TV spot!
The Assignment:
Since its introduction in 2006, the Jack Link’s Beef Jerky Messin’ With Sasquatch campaign has infiltrated pop culture and attracted millions of fans worldwide. Here’s your chance to write and shoot your very own Jack Link’s TV spot. However, rather than Messin’ with Sasquatch, you have full creative license to develop something completely new that plays off the “Messin’ With…” theme. Messin’ With Your Roommate, Messin’ With Your Neighbor, Messin’ With Your Little Brother – so long as Jack Link’s Beef Jerky is featured in your video, it’s 100 percent up to you.
The Payoff:
A panel of judges representing Jack Link’s Beef Jerky will view every submission and choose one winner that most exemplifies the true spirit of the Jack Link’s Messin’ With Sasquatch campaign. The winning submission will be aired nationally on ESPN and, in addition, the winning student will receive:
A trip for two to Las Vegas to watch the winning commercial air live during an ESPN viewing party
The chance to create a commercial that represents the No. 1 U.S. meat snack brand
Enough Jack Link’s Beef Jerky to stay satisfied all school-year long
The Details:
Using Jack Link’s Messin’ With Sasquatch commercials as a guide, your submission must involve Jack Link’s Jerky as the catalyst for the featured prank

I want to see “Messin’ with Mothman”: angry that he has been denied beef jerky. Mothman collapses a bridge.

It’s bad enough when internships place student status restrictions on their offering. But Jack Links jerky too? Really?
