Over at Tongal, Tyson is running a video contest designed to promote hunger-relief efforts. Filmmakers were to go out and shoot short documentaries about individuals who were trying to make a difference by collecting food, organizing food drives or working in pantries or shelters. The thing I like best about Tongal is that they have a strict “No Voting” policy on all of their contests. Instead, they often hold “prediction contests” to go along with the main competition. For the hunger relief contest though they are giving several bonus prizes (biggest is $750) to those entries that receive the most views between now and January 6th. The submission period for the competition just closed and the entries can be seen here. Judges will award several prizes but the best of the bunch will get $2,500. But that’s not all! In addition to the prize money, the food bank featured in the winning video will receive a donation of 35,000 POUNDS of food from Tyson!
This was a tough contest to create an entry for so only 12 submissions were recived. And one of them just happened to come from Beardy’s “good friend” Dan. So if you want to show VCN a little support, why not throw him a view by clicking the play button below? Important note: To prevent fraud, Tongal only counts one “view” per IP address. That’s the only way to keep things legit so good for them.
If the video is choppy, try turning off the “HD” button. If the player won’t come up, click here to watch the video on Tongal’s site.
