The 2007 AST Dew Tour has officially shifted into high gear with the “Dew Tour Mash-Up Maker” online game.
Last month, the 2007 AST Dew Tour officially kicked off with the Panasonic Open in Baltimore, MD and is moving forward with four additional cities – in fact the Right Guard Open in Baltimore takes place this weekend! In support of the upcoming events, a Dew Tour Mash-Up game and contest has been created.
The game is a “Dew Tour Mash-Up Maker.” Users can create their own Dew Tour video using action packed clips, music and sound effects. By creating a video, users are then entered into a contest for a chance to win a Yamaha Motorcycle and have their trailer played nationally on NBC television!
