BoddaH1994 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hey everyone! KICentral will be hosting a video contest effective immediately. The winners will be judged by members of Kings Island's marketing department and the winners will receive a personal Beast backstage tour as well as having their video featured on Kings Island's Facebook for 200,000 of their fans to see! Here are the rules: The video is limited to TWO MINUTES in length. The subject matter will be, "What Kings Island means to me." The only limitation is that there must be some footage from the park that was filmed during the 2011 season. This footage must be very evident as in, having WindSeeker or Dinosaurs in the background. Other than that, reach inside yourself and BE CREATIVE!!! There are no other format rules besides what has been listed above. The contest will be judged on a 50 point scale, and the categories are as follows: 10 Points are scored based on how you perceived the theme of, "What Kings Island Means to Me." 10 Points based on the originality of the concept of the video 10 Points for over all editing quality 10 Points for the rules (two minutes, current footage, etc) 10 Points for the "awe factor" which basically means that the judges can give or take these points base solely on how impressed they are. There are two ways that you can submit your video. You can drop it off at the park at Guest Services near the main gate. If you choose to do that, make sure you mark on the container that it is a video for the KICentral Video Contest and address it to Don Helbig. Secondly, it can be mailed to the park at the following address: Don Helbig Kings Island Public Relations Area Manager KICentral VIDEO CONTEST 6300 Kings Island Drive P.O. Box 901 Kings Island, OH 45034 The cutoff date will be announced in the near future along with when the winners will be announced. Let me know if you have any questions!!!

BoddaH1994 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think you're confusing that video. That was peoples' reactions when they found out they were going to get a new coaster in 2005... one with a theme... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have had a few days to think up some video concepts that would be interesting and fun to do while incorporating the rules of this contest. this will take a bit of time seeing how we need to incorporate DA or WindSeeker in the background at some point. I think this contest is a cool way to see some of the ever increasing creative side of the members here. I also think this will give KICentral some exposure to some potential new members. I have always wanted to go further back into the woods surrounding The Beast so I think this will be a real treat for all those coaster enthusiasts. Anyone else putting thoughts to doing a video too?
