Ikan’s “Wish I Had an Ikan” Short Film Competition

Houston (June 12, 2009) – The Ikan Corporation (Ikan) is pleased to raise the stakes in the new “Wish I Had an Ikan” short film competition. Previously, winners were to be awarded $2,000 in cash and a V8000HDMI LCD production monitor. Now, the 1st place winner will receive $2,000 in cash and a Deluxe Prize Package valued at over $1,000!

Clint Milby, Ikan’s Director of Marketing, says, “We were getting such a great response from potential participants and current Ikan product owners, that we decided to go ahead and throw in some more prize into the winner’s pot.” The Deluxe Prize Package will include a V8000HDMI Deluxe Kit, a newly redesigned Ikan Production Slate, an Ikan Camera Cradle and an Ikan Monitor Arm.

In the contest, short films will be judged on creativity, adherence to the theme of “Wish I Had an Ikan” and effective placement of Ikan product or the Ikan name. Second place will receive a check for $1,000. Third place will receive a V8000HDMI LCD monitor.
