Creamsource launches comedy-inspired competition

Sep 14, 2021

Creamsource, developers of artisan-quality cinema lighting for more than 15 years, announced a competition to celebrate the one year anniversary of its flagship cinema LED, the Vortex8, in which the winner has a chance to win up to 10 Vortex8 units, a value of $50,000 with a total prize pool of up to $85,000. In a departure from the expected, Creamsource is putting out an open call for the funniest on-set prank for this competition.

To enter, Participants must submit a video recording of a safe and light-hearted prank with on-set colleagues via Instagram. Creamsource will reward the winner(s) with its coveted Vortex8 650W high-power 2’x1’ LED. 

“It’s been a tough year and then some; we just want people to have some good-spirited fun with this competition,” said Creamsource CEO Tama Berkeljon. “We’re a company that loves to laugh and play pranks so we thought – let’s invite the community to join in on that! We wanted to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Vortex8 launch by hooking artists up with gear but we had to do it a completely out-of-the-box Creamsource way.”    

Creamsource is raising the stakes and giving away more Vortex8 units to the winner(s) in relation to the total number of contest entries – so be sure to share with your network. What this means is that the more people that enter, the more Vortex8 units are given away. Here’s the breakdown:

  • 25 Entries = 1st place winner gets 1x Vortex8 
  • 50 Entries = 1st place winner gets 2x Vortex8; 2nd place gets 1x Vortex8
