Abstract
A system and method for incentivizing bartenders and other individuals to promote a particular brand of alcohol by creating a video competition. The system receives instructions to implement a video competition and notifies a plurality of individuals of the video competition. The participants to the video competition each create a video showing the individual preparing a particular alcoholic beverage. The video is created using a video production application that simplifies the video production process by providing guidelines for filming the video, automatically speeding up one or more portions of the recorded video, and allowing the user to easily edit the video. Videos created using the video production application may also be used as a part of an electronic cocktail menu. The system may identify prize winners for the video competition and transfers prizes to the winners, for example, electronically.
