Which fans have the best touchdown celebration? The Packers Pro Shop wants to know.
The Packers Pro Shop Tuesday announced details for the 2006 End Zone Elation Celebration, an audition to be held June 3, 2006, at the Lambeau Field Atrium with the finalists having the opportunity to be part of the 2006-07 Packers Pro Shop advertising campaign, which includes television, print ads, Web ads and outdoor billboards.
The audition is open to would-be celebrators, ages 10 and older. Registration begins tomorrow, May 10, at 9:30 a.m. in person at the Packers Pro Shop.

A parent/legal guardian must sign the registration form for applicants younger than 18. A valid form of photo identification is required. Registration will continue until all time slots are filled.
The June 3 day-long audition will feature competing contestants simply demonstrating how they celebrate in the end zone - whether it be a strut, a dance, a jig, a pose or any other creative way to rejoice.
Groups of four participants will simultaneously showcase their touchdown dances during the time slot given to them at pre-registration. Custom music will be played to set the mood and generate excitement, a live audience will cheer them on, they'll demonstrate how they would celebrate in the end zone and cameras will capture their moves. The event will be free and open to the general public.
Each dance will be evaluated after the audition day (criteria to include charisma, stage presence, originality, etc.) and 20 finalists will be selected to attend the final Packers Pro Shop advertising shoot on Monday, June 19, 2006, at Studio Forty Four in De Pere, Wis.
