When the green stuff is mentioned, don’t waste time, especially when it comes to making Detroit shine! The Detroit Metro Visitor & Convention Bureau, or DMCVB, would like to give up $10,000 to a videographer that can put together a 2 to 4 minute video podcast that creatively and positively captures one of Detroit’s strong suites: cars, culture, gaming, music or sports. Besides the money, being able to say your video is the city’s choice to draw millions of visitors to the ‘D’ wouldn’t suck either! The visitors bureau wants to reach 21 to 34-year-olds, and what better way than to get into their iPods?
Here is how it works:

The Detroit video podcast must be between two to four minutes long, and the creator/s must be 18 or older. The 2 to 4 minute video podcast must creatively and positively capture at least one of these five major categories: cars, culture, gaming, music and sports. Of course, more is always better right?

To enter your video podcast, the DMCVB asks you to complete the online registration form at visitdetroit.com and follow directions for uploading your video entry on YouTube.com by April 20, 2007. A panel of judges assembled by the DMCVB will select one winner by May 4, 2007, and that winner will be notified no later than May 18, 2007. The winning podcast will be incorporated in the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau’s marketing campaign.
