Well-crafted and hilarious
IT’S moving into the second week of the Drive for Food contest, and we’re announcing the prizes for the second round of the event.
But first, let’s stay in the first round, which is where we’re still at. Now, in case you aren’t already aware of it, the contest, which is organised by the folks behind The Star Online, has all to do with food, cars, travelling and video.
The first round runs for four weeks, and it is all about submitting a video recording of your favourite dishes, eating haunts or even a travel spot, no more than 60 seconds long, and posting it on the YouTube video sharing site and providing an embed link to allow The Star Online to link to the clip.
The top five videos for the week stand to win RM100 each. Winning entries will of course be judged based on originality, creative expression and entertainment value.
Speaking of videos, the first week’s entries – and winners – can be viewed at the website at www.drive4food.com. Of particular note is one of the winning entries titled the Ramly Burger Song. It’s a well-crafted and hilarious take on that famous roadside stall dish, and definitely worth viewing. Now, if you think you can do better than that.

Of course, it doesn’t end there. Once the first round is over on Oct 19, the contest moves on to its second phase. The 10 contestants with the best submissions from the first round will then get the chance to vie for the big prizes in store in the main event, which takes place on Nov 3 and 4.
Here, the finalists will be required to form a team each, comprising of between two and four team members, to take a drive up North from Kuala Lumpur to Penang.
Each team will have to submit a travelogue of its experience from KL to Penang; this will comprise five of the best clips of its choice – the content topic can be of a particular dish, makan place or travel destination. All clips need to include footage of the participants holding up a current copy of The Star, with bonus points to be given for creativity here.
Oh, and if you’re wondering, the cost of accommodation, petrol and toll for all participating teams will be taken care of. So, really, all you need to do is bring your own vehicle for the drive, and, of course, find those meals yourself.
Ah, yes, the prizes. The first prize consists of RM5,000 in cash, a set of four pieces of Eagle F1 215/45R17 tyres from Goodyear Malaysia and a LG MG-5646BS 26-litre microwave for each team member.
The second prize is RM3,000 in cash, a set of four pieces of Goodyear Eagle NCT5 205/45R16 tyres and a LG MG-5646BS microwave for each team member.
The third placed team will get RM1,500 in cash, a set of four pieces of Goodyear Eagle NCT5 195/55R15 tyres and a LG MG-5646BS microwave for each team member.
There will also be prizes from Canon Malaysia for the top teams.
Meanwhile, the fourth and fifth placed teams will get RM500 in cash, as well as a 25% discount voucher for any four pieces of tyres from Goodyear.
As for the remaining teams, the good news is that you won’t walk away completely empty handed – each will get a 25% discount voucher for any four pieces of tyres from Goodyear.
So, with lots to aim for, shouldn’t you be getting those videos done? Good luck, and be creative.
