SHARKNADO 3: Ultimate Fan Contest?

SHARKNADO3Prove your fandom for a chance to be in the Sharknado making-of companion film

March 23, 2015 – Burbank, CA – The Asylum is producing the first-ever feature-length film about the Sharknado phenomenon, and fans have the chance to be part of it! The producers of the Sharknado film series are calling for fan video submissions to be judged for inclusion in their yet-to-be-named campy new film about the Sharknado franchise, the surprise phenomenon that first captured the public’s attention in 2013.

The film will be a no-holds-barred, hands-on look at the making of Sharknado 3 as well as a retrospective celebrating the rise of Sharknado and Sharknado 2: The Second One and how the franchise became a cultural juggernaut. The film will feature new in-depth interviews with cast and filmmakers, as well never-before-seen footage from the set. And it will explore why and how people respond to the films, which is where the fans come in: eligible video submissions will be included in the documentary to illustrate just how rabid Sharknado fans can be.

The official Sharknado companion film will be released by Cinedigm in Summer 2015.  Sharknado 3 will air on Syfy on July 22nd.

All submissions are eligible for inclusion in the official Sharknado film and other media related to Sharknado 3. One first prize winner will also be awarded $250!

Submission rules below. Complete submission rules can be read here.

Did your family record your freakout when Sharknado 2 aired on Syfy? Do you have a slideshow of your wild Sharknado viewing party? Do you just need to film yourself explaining why you love it so much? Submit it!

  1. A video of you answering 5-10 of the following interview questions.
  2. Who do you want to see die in a Sharknado film and why?
  3. What city would you like to see a Sharknado destroy and why?
