Academy and MTVU hold Oscar Correspondent Contest for college journalists
College students studying journalism are being given the opportunity of a lifetime, thanks to the Academy and mtvU.
It’s the second annual “Oscar Correspondent Contest” and the grand prize is a spot on the red carpet and backstage press credentials for the 82nd annual Academy Awards.
From now until Dec. 18, college students are invited to submit a 2-minute video at www.oscars.mtvu.com that showcases their broadcast journalism skills and proves why they deserve to cover the Oscars. All videos submitted must be from teams made up of one anchor and one videographer.
The Academy and mtvU will select the top 10 videos that will be posted online at mtvU.com. Viewers can watch and vote for their favorite journalists from Jan. 20 to Feb. 10. The top three teams will be flown to Los Angeles to cover Academy Awards pre-events, including the Animated Feature Symposium, Foreign Language Film Award press event, the Makeup Artist and Hairstylist Symposium and the Governors Ball preview.
And the grand prize-winning team, which will be revealed March 6, will cover the Oscars for MTV News and mtvU. (The other two finalist teams will receive bleacher seats along the red carpet and admission to an Oscar viewing party.)
The Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2009 will be presented March 7 at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center and will air live on ABC.
