New York Video School - Favorite Places in NYC Contest

From: Emi

Subject: Video contest for NYC college and university students - January Deadline

Hi MCA,

I'm reaching out from NYVS, the premier online film school, to share news of a video contest open only to college and university students in New York City. In the "NY vs. NY: Favorite Places in NYC" contest, students are asked to create a short video telling an entertaining story about their favorite place in NYC.

To help students learn more about shooting, editing and storytelling, we are giving all participants a free subscription to NYVS.com for the duration of the contest. This is a great opportunity for students to gain resume building skills and to show off their video making talents, with the chance to win a professional grade still/video camera and gift certificates to support their video and filmmaking careers.

I've attached a contest flyer with basic information, but feel free to reach out to me with any additional questions ( Visit www.nyvs.com/nyvsny to see official contest rules).

As this is an amazing opportunity for NYC based students, we appreciate any help you can give in spreading the word for this contest.


Thanks!
Emi
