Here is a little more info about the contest:

Nissan Canada Inc. launched ‘Hypercube’ in March, a unique social media campaign to promote its all new cube(R) vehicle. Hypercube celebrates, recognizes and rewards ‘social creativity’ in Canada. The company behind the newest example of modern mobility is offering an online stage for 500 creative thinkers and talented individuals from across the country to demonstrate their social creativity and audition for a chance at driving away in one of 50 new cubes.

Creative thinkers across Canada can get on stage with other talented individuals at hypercube.ca and engage with the Nissan cube community on Twitter @thehypercube or Facebook.

“In the spirit of creative thinking, we are taking a new approach to launching the cube that is exclusive to the Canadian market. Rather than relying on traditional advertising models, our entire campaign is being built around social media to engage with the creative class across Canada, whose members personify the cube brand,” says Jeff Parent, VP Sales and Marketing of Nissan Canada. “We will be rewarding original thinkers who are fuelling our spirit with a new car that epitomizes originality.”

The concept of ‘social creativity’ comes from Tony Chapman, a passionate promoter of creativity in Canada and CEO of Capital C, Nissan’s creative partner in the Hypercube campaign.

“I think the only way individuals can stand out in this crowded world is through the ‘socialization of creativity’ – putting their self expression, passion and creative soul out there to be evaluated, commented on and ultimately appreciated,” says Chapman. “It’s what Johnny Carson did for comics and Ed Sullivan did for musicians in the heyday of television, and it’s what Nissan will be doing through social media for today’s Net Generation. It’s where brands as exciting as the cube should play the role of curator, facilitator and multiplier of the collective imagination of Canada.”
