Hi Metrobloggers, My name’s Darren Barefoot and I’m a blogger and a marketer. I’m working with the folks at Canada Place in Vancouver, helping to promote their make-your-own video contest, and hoped it might of interest to your video-enabled readership. Here’s the schtick: Contestants make a one-minute video answering the question “What does the Canadian Experience mean to you?” and submit it here.

The contest closes on June 19 (apologies for the short notice–I only got this news on Friday–And I only saw the suggested story this morning-Andre), and winners will be notified on June 22. The winner gets a trip for two to Vancouver (from anywhere in Canada), two nights hotel accommodation and $500 in spending money. There are two runners-up, and they get $250 in cash and $50 in Canada Place merchandise.

Here’s a sample video for your perusal. Frankly, all of the video bloggers I know could do better than this. Complete rules and contest details are here.

Any questions, let me know. Cheers. DB.
