The annual contest gives consumers the opportunity to create a promotional ad for Doritos that will air during the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>To win the contest, Kleinschmidt\u2019s ad needs to receive the most votes from the public. Although both the first-place and grand-prize winners will see their ad during the Super Bowl, only the grand prize winner will receive the top prize \u2013 $1 million and a dream job with Universal Pictures. The dream job will entail working on a future Marvel movie in whatever way the winner chooses, be it contributing to the script, assisting in the editing of the film or even acting in it.<\/p>\n<p>Kleinschmidt\u2019s ad, titled \u201cMis-Spelling Bee,\u201d depicts two students vying for the prize in a spelling bee. But they aren\u2019t vying for first place; rather, they are purposely trying to lose the contest in order to take home the second-prize, which is a lifetime supply of Doritos. The concept of the video is based on Kleinschmidt\u2019s real-life experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack in high school, I used to do the morning show and I had so much fun doing it,\u201d Kleinschmidt said. \u201cI used to do this game show and everyone would try to lose and go for whatever the second-place prize was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The students featured in the ad are actually former students of Kleinschmidt\u2019s mom, who is a music teacher in Tampa. Both Kleinschmidt and his mom can be heard as the announcers in the ad, while Kleinschmidt\u2019s dad, Kevin, plays the role of the judge.<\/p>\n<p>The video was put together with just $500, the stage from a local community theater and the skills Kleinschmidt acquired as an R-TV student.<\/p>\n<p>After he graduated from NSC, Kleinschmidt felt pulled in the direction of marketing, and ended up working in sports marketing for a while. He currently owns three Anytime Fitness gyms in Tampa, but when he heard about the Crash the Super Bowl Contest, his mind for marketing was sparked once again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still have that creativity. I still love doing that,\u201d Kleinschmidt said. \u201cWhat a great opportunity to give an amateur like me the world as a stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The world really was a stage for Kleinschmidt back in 2009, when he embarked on a global journey as a contestant on season 15 of \u201cThe Amazing Race.\u201d His teammate was his then-wife, Ericka Dunlap, who is Miss America 2004 and an alumna of the Nicholson School. He said that he doesn\u2019t chase after experiences such as these; he goes along with what life brings his way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put my sails up and see where the wind takes me \u2013 that\u2019s how I live my life,\u201d Kleinschmidt said. \u201cI don\u2019t have anything planned to the tee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Kleinschmidt didn\u2019t win \u201cThe Amazing Race,\u201d he is hoping to be victorious this time around. He and the other finalists will find out who won the contest along with the other Super Bowl viewers. As a finalist, he will get to attend the Super Bowl and will watch the game from the Doritos suite with the other grand-prize hopefuls.<\/p>\n<p>To view the Mis-Spelling Bee ad and to cast a vote for Kleinschmidt, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vote4misspellingbee.com\/\">www.vote4misspellingbee.com<\/a>.
