Vivanista Announces Top Five Video Contest Finalists

Jan. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- VIVANISTA ANNOUNCES TOP FIVE VIDEO CONTEST FINALISTS

San Francisco, CA,: Vivanista, the go-to community for philanthropic living and giving, is putting the ‘fun’ in fundraising with its ‘Parties for a Purpose’ challenge. This YouTube video contest invited participants to create 90-second videos demonstrating how to host an easy, social event that generates donations for a selected charity. Regardless of the size or funds raised, participants were encouraged to share ideas highlighting creative events they have attended or would like to attend.

The top five videos were selected according to 1. Relevance, 2. Originality, and 3. Creativity. These amazing party ideas range high production quality with music to a video produced by an seven year old who wanted to “raise money to stop ALL war”. Vivanista would attend all the parties, so we are leaving it up to public voting to select the parties that YOU would ‘Most Likely Attend’. The top three parties with the most ‘Attendees’ will be awarded donations to their selected charitable beneficiary. Charitable prizes will be in the amount of $1,000 for 1st, $500 for 2ndand $250 for 3rd.

Check out the following short videos and let Vivanista know which party you would most likely attend?
•Party for Girls Education - She’s the First, Syracuse
