KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Young members of Mazuma CU can win up to $9,000 worth of prizes and have their videos chosen as the credit union's television commercials as part of a contest launched to promote its new social networking site, called WAYA, as in What Are You About?
The website, at www.whatareyouabout.org, aims to cultivate the credit union's young members by inviting them to share a brief video biography, as on MySpace or YouTube. As MySpace and YouTube do, the site has a space for the credit union's online community for friends and for groups.
As part of the promotion, Mazuma is inviting members to submit a 25-second video until Oct. 15. Up to 10 videos will be chosen as finalists and featured on the website, from which members will be asked to choose three winners that will be considered for use in upcoming TV commercials.
The grand prize winner will receive prizes worth $9,000, while the second place winner will get $4,000 and the third place winner $2,000.(c) 2008 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc. All Rights Reserved.http://www.cujournal.com/ http://www.sourcemedia.com/
