TAP announces viral video contest TAP has launched a viral video contest that encourages amateur and professional filmmakers to create a 30 second video promoting the mission of Tacoma Art Place. Sponsored by Comcast, the contest winner will receive a $250 cash prize The winning video will also be displayed on the Tacoma Art Place website, www.tacomaartplace.org, and on the Comcast website, comcastwashington.mediaroom.com. "We're trying to encourage more participation in a variety of art mediums and thought a contest would be a fun incentive to encourage people to give it a try if they've never produced a video. We hope many of our entrants will gain experience to also give the Grand Cinema's 72-hour Film Competition a try later this year" said TAP founder Linda Danforth. Video submissions are due by February 28, 2010 and a winner will be selected on April 1st. The rules are simple- videos will be uploaded to www.youtube.com, and the video with the most number of hits by the end of the month-long viewing period will be declared the winner.
