WYSE Work Abroad Video Contest 2011

March 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Launched in 2008 to celebrate the many benefits of the work and volunteer abroad experience, the “Expand Your Horizons” Video Contest is entering its fourth year. Once again we are looking for creative videos showcasing the great impressions, cultural encounters, lessons learned and new experiences that work/volunteer abroad experiences provide.

All people currently participating in a WYSE Work Abroad program are invited to submit a video and stand a chance to win US$ 2,000! Participating members receive free publication in all WYSE Work Abroad online communication channels and can use the video submitted from their organisations as a great free marketing tool year-round.

“Promoting the WYSE Work Abroad video competition to BUNAC participants was a simple but productive way of generating additional first-hand material that we could use to promote our programmes.  Winning raised our profile amongst other industry professionals, provided us with external PR material and was a great news story on our web site.” (Jill Tabuteau, BUNAC – winning organisation 2010 together with IEP New Zealand).

Bottom line: it’s a great tool to promote work and volunteer abroad experiences, and the extra cash helps too!

Find out how WYSE Work Abroad member organisations can participate, check out the great winning video of 2010 and read contest rules, all at http://www.wyseworkabroad.org and http://wyseworkabroad.tumblr.com/.

The winning video will be announced in October 2011.
