The Jonas Brothers, together with Verizon and LG Mobile Phones, are bringing fans a unique experience featuring new and innovative green screen technology on the U.S. portion of their “Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009.” Starting this week, all fans who create green screen videos at the Verizon/LG booth at Jonas Brothers shows, or those who create videos via their mobile phones or using their computer Web cams and register them at http://VCASTLive.vzw.com, will be entered for a chance to play the ultimate kickball game, live and in person, against Nick, Joe and Kevin.
Playing live in front of our fans and interacting with them in new ways is really what it’s all about for us. Verizon and LG understand that and have come up with some really fun ways to add to the fan experience. I mean, a kickball contest? How cool is that?

Jonas Brothers Green Screen Kickball Contest
Fans will have the opportunity to either jam with the Jonas Brothers or play kickball with them via a green screen video live at the concert venues, at home, or from their mobile phones. They can then enter their videos on http://VCASTLive.vzw.com, where V CAST Live members will vote on them. There will be five weekly winners based on the videos that receive the highest number of votes each week. The Jonas Brothers will select the grand prize winner from the five weekly winners.
The grand prize winner will be awarded the opportunity to hand pick their “Friends & Family” team by inviting nine friends and family members, all of whom will be flown to play one kickball game, live and in person, against the Jonas Brothers this fall. The other four weekly winners will each get to bring one guest. They will comprise the “Individual Dream Team” and will also be flown to the game location to play a second live kickball game against the Jonas Brothers on the same day.
Verizon FiOS TV customers can also enter to win a chance to play kickball with the Jonas Brothers via their TV screen. By watching the “Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience” trailer or Jonas Brothers concert footage – all available on FiOS TV Video on Demand (VOD) – customers will be automatically entered into the contest.
