The Chevrolet Volt could very well the biggest thing to come out of General Motors in years, and the company has wasted no opportunity to tell the world about this "game changing" range-extended electric vehicle. Four lucky readers will get a chance to judge for themselves by getting an early chance to drive the Chevy Volt at Milford Proving Ground.
Wired.com and General Motors have teamed up for the Wired Volt Challenge. Through this union, four lucky readers will be allowed to drive the Volt months before everyone else and get a backstage look at where and how the car was developed. Production for the Volt is expected to begin in late 2010. Pricing has not been announced.
Want your own chance to get in on the action? All you have to do is shoot a video -- keep it under two minutes, please -- telling them how you're using technology to minimize your carbon footprint. Wired wants you to be so creative that your video will blow them away! Teach them something in two minutes or less and post it on YouTube by May 15, send them the link and tell them a little about yourself.
The contest ends in just a few days! They've received several dozen entries, but some of the entries haven't included videos. No video, no prize. It's that simple.
Wired will announce three winners and a list of runners-up on May 31. The fourth winner will be a wild card picked from among the runners-up by the readers of Wired.com, and will be announced on June 7.
The four winners will fly to Detroit on July 13, 2010 for a two-day adventure paid for by Chevrolet. Millions of readers will follow your adventure as you tweet your experience and tell them about the Chevrolet Volt in a review written by you that may be published at Wired.com.
It wouldn't be a contest without lawyers, and theirs say entrants must be a resident of the United States, they must be at least 18 and they must have a valid driver's license. Don't bother entering if you work for an automaker, dealership, or parts supplier. Everything you need to know about the contest and how to enter can be found at www.wired.com/autopia/voltcontest/
Now break out the video camera and start shooting.
