Bebo profile skins designed for the launch of the on line show “The Gap Year”.
In a search for three guys and three girls to represent the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Bebo and Endemol have joined forces on an interactive audition process on Bebo, where users nominate themselves by submitting a video about their ‘dream’ Gap Year. The Bebo online community then votes and comments on their favourite hopefuls, sending the six favourites packing…
To mirror Bebo’s global reach, The Gap Year contestants travel the world for six months, taking in far flung destinations such as Iceland, Africa, Thailand, and Russia. They also venture to high profile events like the Rio Carnival in Brazil, the Chinese New Year, Zen Week in Sri Lanka and the Full Moon Party Season in Thailand.
Over the course of their travels, each contestant faces an array of challenges and surprises as they experience different cultures, meet new people, savour exotic food, go in search of outdoor activities and entertainment and even hang out with local celebrities.
The Gap Year allows Bebo-ers to engage with the six intrepid travellers directly, to share travel tips, create their own travel encyclopaedia, comment on The Gap Year blogs, and vote in weekly polls that have a direct influence on how the journeys unravel. New videos and photos are posted daily and every week a catch up stream gives Bebo-ers an overview of the latest happenings in the travels of the six contestants.
Let your journey begin.
