The National Christmas Tree Association has launched a new contest for the 2007 holiday season inviting YouTube users to “Get Real This Christmas.”
I’m really glad they made a YouTube video to explain the contest!
To participate in the contest, YouTube users can create a unique video (three minutes or less) showing or explaining why a Real Tree is the best choice this holiday season. All videos must be posted to the NCTA YouTube group page, www.youtube.com/group/getreal, by Dec. 15, 2007. Videos will be evaluated by a panel of judges and the top three will be selected on the basis of creativity, accuracy, persuasiveness and popularity.
The grand prize winner will be awarded $500; the second-place winner will receive $250; and the third-place entry will receive $100.
NCTA sponsors the contest as part of a broader campaign to make sure that Christmas traditions and values remain strong. The multi-year campaign’s goal is to reach Americans with the underlying message, “Nothing Says Christmas More Than a Real Tree.”
