This is how we roll video contest!

Want to win a Sony HD Camcorder?
Then today is the day you’ve been waiting for: the day we kick off our “This is How We Roll” video contest.
Here’s how it works:
Shoot a video that you feel best depicts your biking, busing, BARTing, carpooling, or vanpooling experience and upload it to Youtube. Submit your entry by posting a comment to this 511CC blog post, and include:

  • The URL to your video on YouTube
  • How should we get in touch with you (like email).

Submissions will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Monday, Sept. 12.
On Wednesday, Sept. 14, we’ll post the three finalists’ videos here on the blog and readers will vote for their favorite. The winning contributor will win a $100 Amazon gift card and will be entered as one of three finalists for the Grand Prize, a Sony HDR-XR150 120 GB Handycam Camcorder.
A couple of reminders:

  • Be sure to fill out all the required boxes in the comments field of this post. None of your personal information (aside from your name) will be published, but we need to be able to reach you in the event that you are a finalist or a winner
  • Any video that depicts a driver videotaping while driving will be automatically disqualified. Be safe and obey the rules of the road.
  • Be sure to allow embedding when you post your video to Youtube. We’ll use that embed code when we put the finalists’ videos up on the blog for voting.

Lights, camera … and action. Let’s show the world how we roll!
