Why IC? An IPod Photo, for starters....

This just in (well, OK, not JUST in, but pretty recently in) from the college's Marketing Department:

WIN AN IPOD PHOTO: PRODUCE THE BEST SHORT VIDEO OR FLASH-ANIMATION THAT ANSWERS THE UNIVERSAL QUESTION: WHY DID YOU COME TO ITHACA COLLEGE?

Here's an excerpt from the site that describes the competition and the rules (www.ithaca.edu/whyic):

When you're through waxing poetic about that party on Hudson or the hottie in your bio class, we’d like you to tell us what really brought you here. We’re looking for video or flash animation shorts — say, a minute or so — all about why you came to Ithaca and why you’re happy you did. If we select your project, you’ll win a spanking new iPod Photo, not to mention the adoration of millions (well, a few of your classmates at the very least).

You don’t need to be the Rembrandt of stick figures— heck, you don’t even need to be an art or film major. Just show us what you’ve got and you could wind up famous and properly accessorized.

DEADLINE: APRIL 11, 2005
PRIZES:
First place—iPod Photo
Honorable mentions (3)—iPod Shuffle

Winners will be announced on April 27.

For more info, try the Web site (again, www.ithaca.edu/whyic). And then get GOING! If a Parkie can't walk away with the grand prize on this one, WHO CAN?
