Cranston man in Super Bowl Ad contest

(FOX Providence) - The Super Bowl is fast approaching and while many people are gearing up for the game, there's another battle brewing- the commercials!

Cranston native, Brendan Hayward, is one of six finalists competing in the 6th annual "Crash the Super Bowl" challenge. They are not only competing to have their self-made Doritos commercials aired during the Super Bowl XLIV broadcast, they also are shooting to make history by beating the ad pros and garnering the top three spots in USA TODAY’s annual Ad Meter.

It is now up to Doritos fans nationwide to select the three homemade ads they want to see aired during the Super Bowl XLIV broadcast February 7, 2010 on CBS, and potentially become the first-ever consumer-created commercials to rank top-three in the USA TODAY Ad Meter. The winning ads will not be revealed to the world - or the six finalists - until they air on national television during the Super Bowl broadcast.
Once the top 3 commercials air, potential grand prizing for the contest will be based on each of the three winning ads ranking on the USA TODAY Ad Meter:

· $1 million will be awarded for a Doritos ad that scores the number one spot on the Ad Meter
· $600,000 will be awarded for a Doritos ad that scores the number two spot on the Ad Meter
· $400,000 will be awarded for a Doritos ad that scores the number three spot on the Ad Meter
