Do you believe in heroes? If so,
The CW's hit series "Smallville" (Fridays, 8 p.m. ET/PT) wants to hear from
you. Fans of "Smallville," from Warner Bros. Television, will have a
once-in-a-lifetime chance to appear in an upcoming episode of the 10
th
and final season via the "Smallville:" Believe in Heroes Challenge, a 10-day
promotion running from Friday, Dec. 10 through Monday, Dec. 20, on
CWTV.com.
- In the episode "Beacon," to be broadcast on Friday,
Feb. 4, 2011, Clark (series star Tom Welling) is at an emotional
crossroads, with Metropolis divided by a clash between supporters of the
government's Vigilante Registration Act and opposing rallies to generate
support for indispensable heroes like The Blur.
- Clark's friends assure him that he is, indeed, making
a difference in his crime-fighting role as The Blur, and to prove their
point, they show him videos from the Internet in which ordinary citizens
express what The Blur means to them, what it means to be a hero -- and
what it means to have heroes and
believe in them. One of these videos could be yours.
And this is
where "Smallville" fans come in.
Here's how it works:
- Beginning Friday, Dec. 10, at 11 a.m. Pacific Time,
and continuing through Monday, Dec. 20, at 11 a.m. Pacific Time,
"Smallville" fans can submit their own video testimonial as one of these
hopeful citizens by uploading videos to The CW's official website at http://www.cwtv.com/smallville
- In these videos, viewers -- speaking in character as
impassioned citizens of Metropolis and around the world, fighting for the
rights of their heroes -- can express what The Blur means to them and talk
about why they believe in these super heroes.
- "Smallville" producers and the CWTV.com team will
review the submissions and select a number of the user-submitted videos
for broadcast as the testimonials that Clark watches during the "Beacon"
episode airing Friday, Feb. 4 (8 p.m. ET/PT) on The CW.
- In addition to selecting the winning videos to be
used in the episode, the "Smallville" producers and CWTV.com team will
also select a number of additional favorite videos that will be posted to
CWTV.com following the broadcast.
