I entered the Positively Cleveland Hastily Made Tourism Video contest. The video with the most clicks becomes a finalist and the winner becomes an official video for the city of Cleveland. Please click on it...and help me out--forward it to everyone you know (no matter where they live)!

Hope you like it!
Thanks!

Are you WEIRD or WIRED?

Either way, my sister says Austin is the place to be :)  Just a friendly family rivalry going on here because I have sisters in Detroit, Pittsburgh and Austin...so, Cleveland, let's work to attract WEIRD and WIRED!

Way better

Positively Cleveland +- Needs Realneo to win

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 05/16/2009 - 21:47.

 
Realneo can help Joe Roman promote (the real?)Cleveland by entering this contest.   "The five semifinalist videos will be voted on by Cleveland-area champions"
 
If I entered this contest - I wonder who the Cleveland Area Champions are who would vote me in as the winner?  Hey, at least it's democratic!  Now I read the fine print, but besides the honor of giving all your video rights to Joe, what do you get if you "win"?
 
btw, sticking up for my principles but seeing I am outnumbered (norm, lmcsh, etc), I'll still say this chaves post is also spammy, because it is looking for clicks (although I appreciate that her dad helped on the video - that's significant)  Looking for clicks = spam in my book.  Realneo members are being used for a Nielson Rating.  That's spam.
 
(ps I'm not crazy about what Joe's done to Cle for the last 2 decades)
 
 
2. Record an original hastily made Cleveland tourism video (no longer than 2 minutes) highlighting your favorite things about Cleveland Plus, spotlighting Cleveland landmarks and personalities or showing a cool, unexpected side of the area about which tourists may not be aware.
3. Complete the online registration form here to begin the submission process for your entry.
4. Then, to submit your entry, join Positively Cleveland’s YouTube contest group and upload your video. Make sure you title it ”Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video/Your Name."
5. Start promoting your video via MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, flyers in your community, etc. The five YouTube videos with the highest ratings and views will be chosen as semifinalists.
6. The five semifinalist videos will be voted on by Cleveland-area champions and two winners will be selected live at the Positively Cleveland offices on Thursday, May 28 at 2pm.

Jeff, This post was total

Submitted by tchaves on Mon, 05/25/2009 - 01:41.

Jeff,

This post was total shameless self-promotion, addmittedly...but also, some good information for people who are interested... Though since you mentioned it, my dad & I had a wonderful time (as did all of the restaurants/stores/customers that participated) making the video.    I stopped back at all of the restaurants last week to pass out flyers for them to give to their customers--and they were all still excited and talking about the contest.

Although I really seem to be getting under your skin with my blog contributions, I'm hoping you enjoyed my video (and shared it with some friends :-)

My motivation for entering was to be featured as an official tourism video for the city.  (In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I submitted a second one--they requested "Metroparks specific" entries after the contest was announced).

If I win--I plan to donate some of the prizes to the Weekly Giveaways on Tricia's Dish as a way of saying "Thank You" for the reader support (and to my Dad to say "Thank You" for the help--and patience for what was promised to be a 2-3 hour project that took the entire day).

Dads of the world

Submitted by lmcshane on Tue, 05/26/2009 - 09:17.

 Your posts are a subtle reminders that Dads of the World are sorely needed, too.  Your dad must be a great guy.  JeffB is a dad, too, and a great guy!  Father's Day is coming up, too.  I miss my dad.

Give your dad a big hug for me!
 

Prosperity

Submitted by lmcshane on Tue, 05/26/2009 - 18:38.

  After attending the touching Memorial Day ceremony at Denison Cemetery, my significant and I enjoyed some time flying a kite at W.C. Reed Field.  On the way home, we encountered a garden tended by the lovely owner of ProsperityJewelry.com.

She gave me some of the Valerian from her garden, noting that her cats especially love it--sorry, but I am keeping it all for myself--I need it. 

Yesterday was another beautiful day in the neighborhood.  Please visit us on Saturday, June 6th.   If you are interested in living here--stop by the library any time.

  Not bad Tricia--I liked your video the best.  I thought the mommie one was really annoying....suburban mom.
 

Cleveland face time

Submitted by lmcshane on Mon, 11/09/2009 - 05:44.

Cleveland gets face time in the nationally distributed Parade Magazine--too bad they confuse us with Portland and misspell "entrepreneur" in the headline.  But, who's complaining!
