Thanks for asking about MNN's 2009 College Correspondents Contest. We're looking for the country's best environmental reporters to Act Globally | Report Locally!
When does the contest start? Today! And we will accept video and blog entries until Friday, Jan. 16, 2009.
How long should the video be? No more than two to four minutes. Make it good and make it quick.
And how about the blog entries? We're looking for entries around 500 words that show your reporting and environmental voice. Visit us at the wordsmith headquarters of our contest.
What should I shoot? Anything, everything. Get other students, local citizens, your friends, a crowd and show us what would make you a great correspondent for our new environmental site. Be creative. Be funny. Be dire. Be enterprising. But be yourself.
Can I use music? Only if you made it yourself or got it from a rights-free music source. We don't want to hear Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" -- because we don't have the rights to use it. So please keep songs from top-40 artists out of your video. Otherwise, we can't use it.
How does the contest work? If you're entering the video portion of our contest, you just create and upload your video to YouTube. It’ll be automatically uploaded for people to view until the last video has been received. Once we have all of the videos on Jan. 15, we'll select the best entries, state-by-state, and we'll vote on our favorite. The winner will be notified on or around Jan. 30.
For the blog entries, create posts that show off your environmental writing and reporting skills.
What format should I send it in? If you’re uploading to YouTube, follow their step-by-step instructions. Voila!
I'd like even more details. We have them! Check out our complete terms and conditions. Or e-mail us at contact@mnn.com and put "contest questions" in the subject line.
