Suwanee Holding Video Competition

The City of Suwanee is holding its first-ever video competition, and the winner could bring in up to $1,000.

The city that prides itself on an edgy reputation is seeking just that in videos that will be uploaded to the city's YouTube channel.

"What we're really hoping," Public Information Officer Lynne Bohlman DeWilde said in a news release, "is to receive several fun, creative videos ... that are a bit edgy, without being profane or offensive, videos that have the potential to go viral like the Old Spice guy. We figured that we'd turn to our creative community for an insider's take on living in Suwanee."

Deadline for submissions is July 20.

More than one video may be selected as a winner. Up to $2,500 may be awarded, with up to $1,000 being awarded for individual videos, the city said. The City of Suwanee reserves the right not to select any winning videos.

Original videos should be no longer than three minutes. While the video's goal should be to promote the city to potential residents and businesses, it can be funny, but not foul.

Submissions should comply with copyright regulations, including any use of music. Preferred format for submissions is .WMV or .MOV, provided via DVD.

Applications are available at www.suwanee.com and must be submitted with video entries.
