There are many ways that talent can be discovered in today's day and age. The increasingly popular method though, is internet related. The ability to reach the masses with visual and auditory performances is easy, accessible, and inexpensive for those seeking their fifteen minutes of fame. Whether the talent to be displayed is acting, directing, composing or any number of skills, the same method can be applied. Alenver Inc. is a new entity in the fashion world that is providing the vehicle for talent to be discovered in a YouTube video competition featuring their new innovative underwear collection.

Hollywood does in fact keep an eye out for possible video producers and actors of the future through YouTube instead of only the traditional film festivals. Recently two Massachusetts friends in their 20's, signed to be represented as directors with the Hollywood production company Kachew following a 5 minute video submitted in a competition. The two have since produced three online, joint video promotions for Nestle's Butterfinger and the soon to be released Universal Studios Ping-Pong comed y Balls of Fury.

The ...
... latest video competition is sponsored by Alenver Inc. Creative videographers must submit a 2-minute video featuring Alenver's underwear collection prior to the 11:59 pm April 30th 2009 deadline for the competition entitled: I Dare You to Wear Alenver Anywhere. Videos will then be posted on YouTube from the time of their submission, for two months. Winners will be determined solely through public participation as the submission receiving the most viewers and hits will be announced the winner. Their competition is open to contestants from around the world since the submissions are at www.alenver.com-contest . The only limit for contestants is that they must feature men's and/or women's Alenver underwear which is currently available in Europe, the United States, parts of Latin America and of course worldwide through internet purchases at www.alenver.com.

In this video competition, winners will receive $1,000 cash and five additional months with their video posted on You Tube. This extra posting time for the winning short film is probably a greater goal for amateur video creators and actors who are looking for longer than their allotted fifteen minutes of fame. For many, this is the only way that they can affordably get recognition for their work and show their amateur talent to the world of professionals in hopes of being accepted into that realm.

The chance of discovery is not only open to the filmmakers - but also to the models, and actors who are a part of the video submission. Talent scouts for all these roles often use the public vehicles of You Tube for exposure to the freshest faces for film. The videos for the Alenver competition are expected to generate situations that are fresh and new, in locales that go beyond the typical fashion photo shoot or beauty pageant video. Not all actors are cut out to be filmed in their underwear, and this ability could determine an actor's chances of their career taking off or not following this video.

The title of each video: I Dare You to Wear Alenver Anywhere is bound to encourage some amusing and unique scenarios that the girl next door, for example, experiences in her underwear, or at least showing her peeping underwear. This underwear by Alenver utilizes unique colors and metallic gold and silver to print motivating messages on the wide elastic of underwear and bras. The colors and designs look like jewels - allowing the wearer to make a fashion statement with their display. The surprise of the messages is that they are reversed - allowing the wearer only, to see the true message in the mirror. This suggests that wearers can start their day in a specific mood and pick a pair of Alenver underwear to express it, or alternatively, wearers can pick their underwear as inspiration for their day. This concept has taken underwear to a new level as underwear accessory. The products' owners say that just as individuals accessorize with a belt or gold chain, now they can accessorize just by showing the elastic from their jeans.

In the Alenver You Tube videos, the focus may be on the actors' choice of message, their activities, their destination or the reactions to the Alenver underwear being seen in whatever locations they find themselves. Being dared to carry out a task, as the competition's title states, can often have significant ramifications. Imagine the ramifications multiplied in greater proportions if the characters are showing their underwear as they go about their daily lives in some risqué or everyday scenario. The videos could allude to any number of possible appeals of the underwear including the surprise factor, shock value, humor angle or sexy fit of the collection. The options are limitless for the creative mind.

As the holiday season approaches and recedes, a video competition is the perfect vehicle for those individuals seeking to make 2009 their year to get their talent out there. What better opportunity is there for creatively entering the fashion world while simultaneously showcasing their directing or acting abilities? With this video creation all the while in the midst of fun and sexy underwear - that's a great holiday gift in anyone's book!
