Bon Jovi prepares to hit the road this February and is offering audiences in each upcoming North American tour a spot in the limelight.
Using the fun and easy suite of tools available from Animoto, fans can quickly transform their photos and/or videos to create a personal video slideshow about their hometown set to Bon Jovi’s smash 1986 hit “Livin’ On A Prayer.”
Throughout the two month tour, hundreds of user-generated Animoto videos will be featured on the tour’s giant screens to accompany the band’s live performance “Livin’ On A Prayer.”
“We have the greatest fans in the world and we’re excited to make them a part of our show through the wonders of technology,” said Richie Sambora. “We can’t wait to see all of the videos they’re creating.”
Starting today, fans are encouraged to create and upload their own personalized Bon Jovi music video slideshow for this unique opportunity to win a pair of tickets to the show, and see themselves jam on the big screen alongside Bon Jovi. Additionally, the official winners in each city will receive a deluxe prize VIP package including access to the VIP pre show party, an exclusive VIP messenger bag, and several commemorative VIP items.

“We’re thrilled about the longstanding Bon Jovi & Animoto partnership,” commented Brad Jefferson, CEO and Co-founder of Animoto. “This social media promotion gives fans an opportunity to share their most creative Animoto videos set to one of the most popular songs of our generation, “Livin’ On A Prayer.”
