The VidOpp Video Contest Community

Lollapalooza will be one of the most exciting events in the calendar this year. Last year was a blast, but this August it will be bigger and better. The new Chevrolet Sonic/Aveo inspires and enables the “firsts in life.” Create a
short film that inspires 25 year-old city dwellers to find their epic firsts in life. Your film should be about celebrating these adventures, as inspired by the new Chevrolet Sonic/Aveo
