I've always believed that Filipinos are one of the most talented races in the world. We have such a large pool of people who can take on creative challenges like Pony Footwear's digital video and poster art competition.
Dubbed as "Show Off", various designers and aspiring digital video makers interpreted Pony's tagline "Let's Get It On" using a large number of images, videos, designs, and short narratives. Hundreds of entries were submitted and showcased Filipino creativity and artistry to greater heights. Many of the entries were able to capture Pony's spirit and character.
Pony, for those who don't know, is an American brand of footwear that originated in Brooklyn, New York back in 1972. Since then, it has become a top global athletic brand and has been worn by winning athletes in the various fields of sports. Pony has also become associated with popular rebel rockers such as Korn, Staind, and Limp Bizkit who wear the clothing and footwear lines.

At the core of the Show Off competition are Pony's ideals which encourages individuality, freedom of expression, and living up to one's potentials. All the entries were posted on Pony's Facebook fan page and gathered online votes which made up 20% of the total score for each submission. The other 80% was divided into concept and story (50%) and visual impact (30%) scored by chosen judges.
