CMA ANNOUNCES VIDEO CONTEST -- NEW
MEDIA, NEW YORK
Sponsored by Video Platform Company VOPED
Lansdowne, VA/March 8, 2010 –
VOPED, the
online video platform company announced today
that it has teamed up with College Media
Advisers (CMA) to conduct an online video
contest, NEW MEDIA, NEW YORK at the CMA 2010
Spring National College Media Convention in New
York City.
The NEW
MEDIA, NEW YORK contest is being launched to
give students, advisers and conference
participants the opportunity to submit user
generated videos to the CMA website. They will
also be able to utilize some of the new media
tools being applied today by colleges,
universities, commercial news organizations, and
others to engage users and drive traffic and
advertising on websites.
“Multimedia has become such an essential part of
today’s journalism, which is why we’re excited
about this contest with VOPED that will allow
participants a venue to upload their videos. We
hope all attendees go out and capture the fun of
New York City, join the contest and check out
the tools that VOPED is providing to make this
possible,” said Laura Beth Barnes with College
Media Advisers.
Contest videos will be displayed through the
VOPED Embeddable Video Platform located on the
CMA website. The producer who attracts the
highest number of video view will receive a NEW
Apple iPod™ Nano with video. The ’10 Spring
National College Media Convention attendees who
submit their videos can register for a chance to
win at the VOPED booth, #14, before the end of
the conference on Monday afternoon. The contest
rules are posted at:
http://www.collegemedia.org/videocontest.
“This contest will help students and advisors
understand and adapt to the new media landscape
that is now becoming a necessary requirement for
all reporters and journalists. Many media
outlets large and small now require that their
staff members carry video cameras to capture
news stories in the moment and report on it
later,” said David Hiltner, VP of Business
Development for VOPED.
