From SciFi Wire:
Universal Pictures announced a call for entries for its "Slug it Out!" contest, in which fans are asked to create a TV commercial for the upcoming alien horror movie Slither. Entrants can use music, video and images from the film on the movie's official Web site.

The winner will receive a grand prize of $25,000 and the chance to have his or her advertising concept become part of the theatrical campaign for the film, the studio said. The contest ends March 9; Slither opens March 31.

Four runners-up will each receive $1,000 and autographed Slither memorabilia. The remaining 20 semi-finalists will receive a Slither prize pack and one of Universal Pictures' classic horror films on DVD.
