Dig Downtown, an online resource for everything good about Detroit, is running a contest to determine Detroit's Intern of the Year!


From Dig Downtown's blog:

Tired of slinging coffee? Interns, we’re offering you a chance to get your names and faces in front of Downtown Detroit’s leading employers. It’s a video contest to win Dig Downtown’s Intern of the Year award and the process is as easy as pie! Here’s how it works: Get out your camera, phone, or iPad and shoot an HD video about your experience working in Downtown Detroit. We encourage you to be creative and express yourselves as you like. Here are a few questions you can choose from to help you get started:

• How is Detroit different from what you thought it might be? 

• What do you enjoy about spending time Downtown? 

• If you had a theme song for your life in Detroit this summer, what would you play? 

• If you could say one thing about Detroit to people who have never visited before, what would it be? 

• Where are your favorite places to hang out Downtown? 

• Do you plan on working in the city after your internship is completed? 

Keep your video 3 minutes or shorter, upload to Youtube and tag it #DETintern. Then complete the submission form on the bottom of the page by August 29th to enter. Our panel of judges from the Downtown Detroit Partnership will choose the winner of this competition. The winner gets a fancy certificate, resume fodder, and their video featured in a few of the DDP’s annual events and outreach materials – which can be the networking of all networking opportunities, if we do say so ourselves. Even if you don’t win, all submissions will receive a shiny Detroit pin from Detroit’s own City Bird. Now if that isn’t incentive…Stay tuned for the announcement of the winner on September 15th!

You can submit your videos here!

And make sure if you submitted a video entry to leave the YouTube URL in the comments so I can be sure to check it out too!  Good luck!
