Katey Meyer, of St. Charles, is a 21-year-old marketing major at Columbia College Chicago. She has created a stop-motion video for Gain's 'Smell like a Million Bucks' Contest. (Gain is holding the contest through their Facebook page.)

Out of hundreds of submissions, Katey's one-minute video entry made it to the Top 25. She is currently competing for the $1 million prize.

The contest began May 16, 2011 and voting for the final round ends this Monday, Aug. 1, 2011. The winner will be announced Tuesday, Aug. 2.

It's become an interesting trend for advertisers to utilize social media, and use the public's ideas for their promotions.
