Citysearch Contest Lures User-Generated Videos

Citysearch has been a good place to get your business listing for some time now, but these days, they are experimenting with video, which could be a very good thing for local businesses. Right now, there is a contest going on, in conjunction with the website Vimeo. The contest, titled “Love at First Bite” is Citysearch´s first attempt at getting user-generated content up on their site.

The Citysearch video contest is a great way to check out how much interest there is in the video side of things. For the Love at First Bite contest, entrants need to take a short, less than 30 second video of themselves taking a bite of their favorite food. Because the video clips are super short, this makes them an excellent method of testing.

And the best part of all this? The winner of the Citysearch video contest in association with Vimeo will win a $1,000 American Express card! While the idea is to use it on your favorite food, this could go a long ways with a local advertising campaign online!
