Due to increased interest in the ad contest, the organizers over at Firefox have extended the submission deadline to April 14, 2006. So if you're kinda sorta sitt'n on the fence about whether to jump in or not... just go for it!
Asa provides all the details below.

Final Weeks
As we've come into the final weeks of the contest, interest in the Firefox Flicks is growing at a dramatic clip. As one measure of that interest, we've seen more emails to the ad-support list in the last ten days than in the entire previous month.
From a lot of the feedback we�re getting, it sounds like our outreach to potential contestants has just now started to pay dividends. With this late surge in interest, we�ve decided to extend the submission deadline by two weeks to afford a bit more time to some of the people just now getting started. The new closing date for the contest will be April 14, one month from today.
We haven�t been through all of the submissions we�ve received so far to see if they meet the contest criteria and we�ve only received full-sized media from a handful of those entrants but we�re definitely starting to see the entries come in, averaging 2 to 3 per day now.
We�re hard at work getting set up to be able to start sharing the submissions with you all so stay tuned to the Backstage blog for updates.
Oh, and if you�ve already uploaded your video and not sent us the full sized media, hard copy on CD or DVD, please do so as soon as you can. The address to mail us is:
