Streaming Seoul 2009 Video Contest

Description

Overview: Seoul is running a campaign for promoting Seoul across the globe through videos. The campaign is for non-Koreans who are fascinated with Korean culture and also Seoul. All contestants have to do is to produce a movie clip that’s about 1-3 min long and upload them to the site.

Points to make:
- There are lots of of opportunities for everyone to get involved; the topic could be anything about Seoul: your Seoul stories, picture slideshows, Seoul songs, etc.
- The campaign comes with lots of awards up to 10,000,000 KRW for grand prize, 2,000,000 KRW for 2nd place, and 10,000 KRW for everyone who’s submitted a video at all.
- The campaign is a very positive sign, given the fact that this is the very first mass-scale attempt by a gov’t body for promoting Seoul online voluntarily
- It always feels good to get involved with a campaign that will promote a city you love to the rest of the world.
