Show Your 'D'

Create a video podcast to help promote the “D” and you could win $10,000, plus see your video featured on Model D and metromode.

The Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau is holding a contest inviting contestants to creatively and positively capture Detroit, focussing on at least one of these five major categories: cars, culture, gaming, music and sports.

The video must be between two to four minutes long, and the creator/s must be 18 or older.

The goal of the contest is to create a video podcast that shows metro Detroit in a positive light that is intriguing and will catch the attention of the new target audience. 

To enter your video podcast, 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 videos will be incorporated in the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau’s marketing campaign, and will be included on Model D and metromode.

To view complete contest rules, go to www.visitdetroit.com and click on the podcast contest tile along the left side of the homepage. Questions should be directed to: [email protected].
