For years, Freelancers on Freelancer.com have proven to Employers from all over the world that no matter where a Freelancer is located, a task can still be done just as effectively and easily as someone in the Employer's own city.

Over the next few weeks we will be launching the Australian .com.au version of our site. To celebrate this launch, Freelancer.com is inviting all members to put their Freelancing skills to the ultimate test.

We want you to promote Freelancer.com.au to the Australian population and give us the video evidence to prove it! The catch is that you might be on the other side of the world!

Perhaps you dress yourself top to toe in Freelancer.com.au branding in a sports crowd where Australians will be watching (cricket anyone?), or maybe you create a video that goes viral on the Internet telling Australians all about Freelancer.com.au. Whether it's online or offline, your challenge is to reach as many Australians as possible!! To submit an entry, you must create a video showing us what you've done and upload it to You Tube. Then submit your entry using our submission form linked from this page.

Read the instructions below carefully. There's a crash course on how to get noticed in Australia and many useful tips.

Entry is available to EVERYONE from all over the WORLD!! Can you figure out how to promote from Bangalore to Brisbane, Dhaka to Darwin or Manilla to Melbourne?

Once again we're offering over US$25,000 cash and prizes!!

HERE'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO

We're looking to get as much exposure in Australia as possible! We want our Freelancer army to join forces and show those Australians just how amazing Freelancer.com.au really is and why every Australian should be posting projects on Freelancer.com.au.

The US$10,000 grand prize will be awarded to the person who manages to promote Freelancer.com.au to the greatest number of Australians. All submissions must be via video however you can accompany this with additional written evidence of your entry if you choose.

In addition to a US$10,000 grand prize, there will also be 3 prizes of US$5,000 for the following categories:

Most Innovative
Most Exposure Online
Most Exposure Offline

We also have US$2,000 and an Apple iPad to give away for the People's choice of Most Marketable Video.

All entries should aim to gain the most exposure as possible however some will fit more into one category than others. In addition to your attempts to get the Aussies to notice us, here's what else we're looking for...

MOST INNOVATIVE

We're looking for the most innovative and creative way of gaining exposure in Australia. This award will go to the craziest, most innovative entry to promote Freelancer.com.au. Put your thinking caps on and start brain storming!

Think: Australian celebrities, Major Events, Oprah :)

MOST EXPOSURE ONLINE

Online advertising is one of the most effective ways a business can get noticed in today's virtual age. Many of you might be Internet Marketing experts, but even you're not maybe you have an idea that can go viral on the Internet! (Important: Read Legal Restrictions below)

Think: Make a viral You Tube video, Cause an Internet sensation!

MOST EXPOSURE OFFLINE

Just because you don't live in Australia, doesn't mean you can't be effective offline as well. By contacting people in Australia and convincing them to be your helper from across the other side of the world you could have a whole street team of people ready to put up posters, hand out flyers or get an appearance in the media. Freelancing is all about being effective from anywhere in the world. This is your chance to prove it!

Think: Sports events in Australia or in your country that Australians may watch on television (Commonwealth Games if you're in India!), Any of the events listed in the Australia information section below!
