"There are several benefits for the participating students. They will get an opportunity to practice their skills in an actual business project and also compete for financial awards in the form of scholarships," says Frederic Lahey, Director of the Colorado Film School. In addition, the contest will facilitate insight into attainable career opportunities in the local online video market.

Selected independently-owned businesses, such as hotels, spas, or restaurants, will receive a free 1 to 2 minute online video profile about their company. Business owners will use the Reel Promos videos for their websites, newsletters, and promotional emails.

"Our goal is to get businesses to see how online video is fast becoming a critical asset for their marketing strategy," says Anna Hadzi, VideoBloom's Director of Production. "And we've seen that while many of the larger companies have already embraced online video, the smaller companies are still hesitant about its benefits, especially when considering how costly traditional video services have been in the past." The Reel Promos contest is an opportunity to show business owners how low-cost, high impact online video successfully engages customers in the new media environment.
