Video contest at IPFW... win a Florida vacation
With online video playing a more and more important marketing role, sometimes you might not want to sit back and wait for people to walk in your door or over the electronic highway with new video for your website. Sometimes you might want to spark things along. And that's what's happening now at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne.
Andrew Welch, operations supervisior and graphic designer at IPFW, sent word this morning that Chancellor Michael Wartell launched the contest for "Your IPFW Story" on October 1. Any student who is at least 18 years old can compete. Contest rules note that "possible subjects include your classes, professors, student life, performing arts, athletics, your favorite place on campus, what’s changed on campus such as new buildings, student housing and so forth."
As usual in a contest like this, all the videos become the property of IPFW and can be used "for other projects the university deems worthwhile." That, we'll assume, includes online use from the university's website.

The contest runs until November 30. The vacation trip takes place at the same time as an annual Alumni and Friends visit to Florida.
