Can U-Tube It Better?
Video Contest

DEADLINE for submissions is May 29, 2009

Here's an easy, fun, video contest, and the winner gets a quick $500(USD), PLUS their video seen through online marketing outlets WORLDWIDE. That's right, your chance to get credit for the kind of stuff you do for fun anyway, get famous, launch a second career, get rich, go wildly out of control... Well, never mind all that. Here are the rules:

  • The video should be ONE minute or LESS.
  • Shoot it on anything you like: camcorder, cell phone, still camera with 30 second video - it doesn't have to be high quality.
  • The TOPIC is hotels or restaurants - you want to show a BAD example of service from a front desk clerk, a housekeeper or a restaurant server. Choose one, or do one for each. Think of funny stuff NOT to do in each of these jobs.
  • There is a SAMPLE clip on the video at the end of the rules to show you what we mean.
  • Contestants do not have to be a hotel or restaurant employee to participate.
  • No branding or logos visible in your video, please. No copyrighted songs, pictures or material.
  • Make it FUNNY, but keep it PG - no swearing, nudity, or bloodshed.
  • The DEADLINE for submissions is May 29, 2009.
  • By submitting your video, you agree that EI can utilize your NAME, and the video, for marketing purposes, including social media outlets.
  • Need to gather information on the topics? Go to www.ahlei.org/trac for information on the TRAC program (Train, Retain, Assess, Certify), which covers line-level training for front desk representative, guestroom attendant, and restaurant server; all the topics you need to work on your video!
  • Don't forget to UPLOAD your video for submission to YouTube in our video response section!
  • All videos will be judged on ORIGINALITY, humor, and sticking to the message - Which is... how NOT to do these jobs.
