Pssst! We know you’re out there! You love going on vacation and making videos of almost everything you see. Maybe you even sit in front of the computer all day making YouTube videos. So why not put that creative talent to work making a video for The Great HotelClub $1,000 2-Minute Challenge?

Worldwide exposure for your video and cold hard cash – There’s no reason not to participate! Here’s what HotelClub is looking for…

HotelClub is looking for a video that will promote its unique brand. Your video should be only 2 minutes or less in length and should have a theme surrounding either travel or hotels. You are encouraged to be as creative as you like, but the content needs to be clean – if you wouldn’t let your kids watch it, please don’t send it to HotelClub.

How the HotelClub Challenge Works

First thing’s first – create a video that advertises the HotelClub brand. Extra consideration may be given to people who effectively incorporate the HotelClub brand colors into their entries. You can only enter one time, so make sure you submit your best work upfront!

The competition started on February 6^th, so you’ll need to get cracking. Once you’ve created your video you’ll need to join the official HotelClub fan page on Facebook. Upload your completed project to the video section of this page.

After you’ve uploaded your video you’ll need to get your friends and family to come out and vote for your entry. One vote/comment per person – please. You’ll need to make sure your video is uploaded and voted for before March 2, 2009.

Visitors will then be asked to view a poll and cast their votes for one of the Top 10 video choices. Polls will remain open until March 9, 2009, at which point the ultimate winner will be chosen!
