Though one wouldn’t necessarily peg Quentin Tarantino as the corporate sponsor type, the director is taking part in a decidedly Tarantino-esque contest sponsored by Red Bull for his upcoming film Django Unchained.  It was announced today that The Weinstein Company and Red Bull Media House are launching an online contest for emerging filmmakers to put together an original multi-media piece that will be viewed and judged by Tarantino and his team.

The task is to make a piece that is at most three-minutes in length and incorporates footage from either the official Django Unchained trailer or from one of three of Tarantino’s favorite spaghetti westerns that inspired his latest film: Django (1966), The Grand Duel (1972) and Day of Anger (1967).  Hit the jump for more details, including the possibility of Tarantino and Django Unchained coming to Comic-Con and a video message from Tarantino himself.
