Former presidential candidate Al Gore has launching a consumer-generated advertising contest to promote his environmental causes.

Gore made the announcement as he was being interviewed on “Larry King Live” about the Live Earth events. Gore was prominently involved in Live Earth, a series of musical concerts to raise awareness of global warming. The events took place Saturday night in at least eight concerts around the world headlined by 150 stars.

The contest, 60 Seconds to Save the Earth, lets consumers in the U.S., UK and Republic of Ireland submit 15-, 30-, or 60-second TV public service announcements through Sept. 12 that could be used as part of a new three-year ad campaign to raise awareness about global warming.

Current TV (DirecTV 366), a global television network that Gore helped create, will handle the contest, he said. The channel gives people the opportunity to create and influence what airs on TV, is handling the contest, according to information on its Web site. Gore is the chairman of Current TV.
