The Wisconsin Statewide AskAway publicity committee is sponsoring a YouTube contest for teens. This is a great opportunity for library youth groups to try something new, get some publicity, and prizes. The committee is looking for original videos between 30 and 60 seconds long (can be longer) that depict the AskAway service in a positive way; why they use and like it. A $150 first prize and a $75 second prize will be offered. Additional details about contest rules and contest forms will be announced soon.
Everyone's help is needed to make this a successful contest. Please talk to your young adult and/or children's librarians at your library. If you are the youth services/young adult/children's librarians please consider having your young adult group enter.
The committee is looking for Young Adult librarians to be judges! No experience necessary. If you want to be a judge in the contest please contact Renee Ponzio at reneep@eauclaire.lib.wi.us.
Please visit the Wiki site at http://askaway.pbwiki.com/FrontPage where you will find tons of information, posters, and other materials to help your library promote AskAway to your patrons. For more information about the contest, contact Renee Ponzio, Chairperson, Statewide AskAway Publicity Committee, at (715) 839-1683 or reneep@eauclaire.lib.wi.us.
