The grand prize winner will be decided by the world's votes from the Doritos website, with the winner receiving US$1 million in prize money as well as the opportunity to work for a full year at Universal Pictures in Hollywood.

In Armand de Saint-Salvy's 'Doritos Manchild', the humorous advertisement pokes fun at the idea of a 'manchild' in a story that sees a man revert to a childlike state when his wife opens a packet of Doritos. If he were to win, Armand says he would use the money to repay the people who helped him along on his journey and use the opportunity at Universal Pictures to launch his Hollywood career.
You can vote for 'Doritos Manchild' and other fan-created ads until 29 January.
