SWsoft launches the Parallels Why Choose? Video Contest

According to the example spot posted to launch the contest, because Parallels lets you run Windows and Mac OS X on your Intel-based Mac without rebooting, you don’t have to choose between a Mac or a PC anymore but you do have to make choices. The folks at SWsoft, makers of Parallels, hope that you will choose to submit a video to their Why Choose? Video Contest and become eligible to win a trip for 2 to Macworld 2008 in San Francisco, a decked out MacBook Pro and a Sony HDR-SR7 HD Handycam.

Check out all the prizes and contest details online.

You can use whatever artistic medium you want be it a short film, animation, song, photograph to create an original three-minute or less video about a time when you didn’t compromise between two great things. In an effort to attract some of the brightest and creative minds out there, Parallels is allowing college, film, art and high schools to register their students for the contest. If the grand prize winner is a student enrolled at your school, your school will receive a $10,000 technology grant.

Deadline for submissions is December 9th, 2007.
