The ExchangesConnect Online Video Contest site launched on November 17, 2009. Here’s a screenshot of the website, which looks pretty cool now that the community has uploaded a bunch of videos.
The purpose of the contest is to help drive up the membership for the Department of State’s ExchangesConnect social network, which is focused on promoting cross-cultural understanding around the world. The social network and the contest have been done for the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
This is a project I’ve worked on with fellow Rubyists David McVicar and Kelly Gifford, so we’re all pretty pleased. Four contest winners will receive an all-expense-paid, two-week-long foreign exchange program compliments of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
Check out the contest now! There’s plenty of room for more participants.
The 2nd Annual ExchangesConnect Video Contest launched at noon on November 17th. Within hours, users were uploading the first videos for the contest. I’m really pleased to have been involved in the development of this contest.
