LOS ANGELES -- Today, ADOOGA, the comprehensive and user-friendly search engine that catalogs and aggregates branded interactive contests, launched to help the millions of talented people who are logging onto the internet to participate. ADOOGA breaks through the current clutter and lets contest seekers easily and intuitively search, at any given time, through more than 250 branded contests open for submissions.

Along with the growing popularity of social networking sites where members can share music, videos and other content they've created, the web is seeing a surge in blue chip brands tapping the creativity of the internet generation to create their next big campaign through contests on sites, such as YouTube, MySpace and BrickFish.

Creatopia

Co-founders Perrin Chiles and Chris Sherrill wanted to develop a community where creatives and internet junkies could get in front of companies with innovative ideas for the brands. They discovered that getting in touch with these brands needed simplifying.

"The contests are out there and so is the audience, but there was nothing to connect them in an simple, insightful fashion," says Perrin Chiles, co-founder of ADOOGA.

"Talent agencies are scouring sites like MySpace, Facebook and YouTube looking for the "next big thing" - ad agencies and corporations should be doing the same thing. The Internet is such a powerful way to connect creative people with bold brands," said Chris Sherrill, co-founder of ADOOGA, "We wanted to simplify the process of putting talent in touch with the brands looking for fresh ideas."

Both founders bring entrepreneurial spirit and passion to the website and personally enter many of the contests. Their participation in these contests helps them experience first-hand what works and what could be improved upon. Using this information, they constantly challenge themselves to make the experience as effective as possible (and they get to have a little fun doing it.)

ADOOGA All-Stars

To encourage a little healthy competition, the site also features an "ADOOGA All-Stars" page that showcases past winners of branded contests over the years. The All-Stars page is a community feature developed to give the contest champions their own little sweet spot complete with bragging rights and ripe for shameless self-promotion.

Call for Entries

There are hundreds of photographers, filmmakers, musicians and writers out there waiting to be discovered and receive recognition for their work. Now, ADOOGA is here to help expedite the realization of those dreams. Check it out; hone your skills to enter a contest or two, and win money to fund your next record, indie flick or photo exhibit.
