Ring, the video-doorbell company, announced on Wednesday that it is offering a $1 million prize to a US resident who captures “unaltered scientific evidence of a real extraterrestrial lifeform” on their Ring device. The contest, which ends on November 3, is a Halloween-themed stunt aimed at spurring creativity among participants.
While the chances of actually capturing footage of an extraterrestrial are slim, Ring is encouraging participants to submit their most creative interpretation of an extraterrestrial sighting. The videos will be judged based on creativity, humor, engagement with a Ring device, and alien costumes. The winner of this category will receive a $500 Amazon gift card.
Ring, owned by Amazon, is a popular video doorbell option. However, CNET’s top pick for video doorbells is the Arlo Video Doorbell, which is praised for its easy installation, wide view, night vision, and built-in siren.
