Schwebel Baking Co., Midlothian Boulevard, wants fans of its famous “We Want Schwebel’s!” jingle to make a video performance for an online contest.

“Over the past 30 years, we have encountered many consumers who send us their own unsolicited versions of the jingle,” Lee Schwebel, director of corporate communications, said in a statement. “It’s a fun way to celebrate Schwebel’s iconic commercial and win some fantastic prizes at the same time.”

Entries for the contest can be submitted until Dec. 15.

A panel of judges will select 10 finalists based on originality, creativity, technical quality and adherence to the contest rules.

The public will vote on the finalists in January. Winners will be announced Feb. 8.

Participants must be at least 18 to submit an entry, but friends and family of any age can star in the video.

To enter, visit www.wewantschwebels.com. The site contains rules, a how-to video, sheet music, piano accompaniment, a sample video and instructions for uploading contest entries.
