You’ve seen the ads … maybe even the behind-the-scenes video. Now here’s your chance to be part of something new and fresh at McDonald’s, brought to you by ChannelAPA.com. If you haven’t heard (you might be the only one), McDonald’s is introducing a new, great-tasting fish option: Fish McBites™

If you loved McDonald’s Chicken McBites, then you’re in for a treat with the new Fish McBites. They’re tender, crispy pieces of poppable white flaky Alaskan Pollack – responsibly sourced and wild caught from sustainable fisheries.

Imagine a taste explosion of delicious, bite-sized fish.

To celebrate the launch of this new product, we’re giving you a chance to show how the great taste of Fish McBites moves you – and have an opportunity to be a part of an upcoming McDonald’s commercial!

Here’s how it works:
1) Read all the rules below 🙂
2) Download the official Fish McBites music here.
3) Go to McDonald’s and try some Fish McBites (Save some for your video!)
4) Make a 30-second video of you doing your best interpretation of a “Fish Dance,” showing how the flavor of Fish McBites moves you
5) Email a link to your video to channelAPA.com at channelapa.promo@gmail.com by March 31, 2013.
6) Share your video with every one you know on the face of the planet!
