"Dance for a Chance" is another example of how Pepsi is making the 2013 summer an iconic one. Consumers can submit their videos online, via mobile and on-site at Pepsi's Music Bus. Consumers who visit www.pepsi.com/danceforachance will be prompted through a few simple steps to film and submit their video directly to Pepsi's page. Pepsi also has optimized this site for mobile users so they, too, will have an easy way to shoot and upload their video clips. Finally, a newly created Pepsi Music Bus will be traveling around the country making appearances at select "The Mrs. Carter World Tour" stop locations. There, fans will have a chance to use special Pepsi stages at the bus to shoot and submit videos.

"Pepsi is delivering on its promise to give consumers a chance to truly make this summer iconic," said Rishi Daing, Senior Director, Marketing, Pepsi. "Not only are we giving fans the opportunity to work with Beyonce's head choreographer to make a unique dance video, but we are going to treat those fans as our guests and introduce them to Beyonce at her New York tour stop. We are bringing iconic opportunities for our consumers to capture the excitement of now."

In addition to the grand prize elements, Pepsi also has a full range of supporting prizes, merchandise and Beyonce concert tickets to give away through various social media channels and www.pepsi.com. The video submission portion of the campaign begins on July 4 and will run through August 8. The grand prize window for submission ends on July 20.
