Summer is upon us, and the sights and sounds of baseball are everywhere. Children of all ages are enjoying the delights of America’s pastime.

The L.A. Dodgers, one of the iconic names in professional baseball, want to bring the sport in a special way to youngsters under 14. They are looking for videos to promote the Jr. Dodgers Kids Club.

Kids Club membership offers all sorts of special privileges to kids, increasing their enjoyment of Dodgers baseball. Tell this story with all the fun and excitement that comes with our national sport. You could do animated or live action or a mix, but animation could work especially well for this audience.

This could be especially suitable for all our creators out there in LA land. The Dodgers are offering all sorts of Dodgers treats. There are tickets and baseballs available for the top 40 videos and a total of $1,500 more in cash for the top three videos.

So, swing for the fences! Sign up below. Check out the creative brief carefully for all the details on awards and creative direction and join the discussion in the Town Hall (here).

Deadline for submissions is July 17, 2009.
