Snoop Dogg and Norton Launch Cyber Crime Rap Competition

Snoop Dogg has signed up to front a campaign to crack down on internet fraud.

The rapper has teamed up with anti-virus company Norton, to launch a promotional competition, The ‘Hack is Wack’ cybercrime rap video contest, to help raise awareness of cybercrime.

‘Hack is Wack’ invites rap enthusiasts to submit a two-minute video showing off their lyrical skills on the subject of cybercrime and a variety of related topics including hacking, identity theft, computer viruses, and why it is important to protect yourself from online crime.

A panel of Norton representatives, and the rapper’s management, will judge submissions. Videos will be assessed on originality, creativity, rapping and performing skills, and delivery of a compelling anti-cybercrime message.

One lucky winner will net two tickets to a Snoop Dogg concert, a Toshiba laptop and the chance of a meet and greet with the rapper’s management and/or agent in order to understand the business issues surrounding making it in the music industry today.

Closing date for the competition is September 30, 2010, and the winner will be announced October 20, 2010.
