mediabistro.com’s Video Contest

Well, now that NBC and iTunes are back together again, we want to tell you about our own video initiative. And in this one, you could pocket some cash.

mediabistro.com is the media sponsor for World Orphan Week, Oct. 5-11, put on by SOS Children’s Villages USA. And in the spirit of all things video, we’re setting up a contest called “WOW US.” If you want to participate, submit a two minute (or less) video that brings attention to the important cause of orphans worldwide. The winner receives $1,000.

Check out all the details on the web site.

The winning video will be shown on TVNewser in October.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
