Hey everyone,
onthebanks.com readers are really great about sending random pieces of information in; like when a reader the other day pointed out that Kyle George is no longer on the official Rutgers team roster. Every reputable web site has a good raison d'etre, and this site tries to scour the internet for all sorts of under-the-radar Rutgers athetics content and research material.
Every little bit helps, and it would be great if some of those readers interested in good content wanted to take the next step towards building their own media platforms. If you want your own platform for sports media commentary, check out this contest from SB Nation and XFINITY tv.
Have you ever wanted a shot at winning your dream job in sports social media? Here’s your chance –
XFINITY is launching a nationwide contest to find the next sports social media star to serve as the voice
of XFINITY behind-the-scenes at the biggest sporting events nationwide in 2012.
The contest is called "Xfinity Presents: The Ultimate Sports Social Media Job" and runs from January 13th
through March 25th. The winner will receive a one-year salary, all the electronics for the ultimate sports
pad, and will have the opportunity to share thoughts, insights, and content with fans nationwide via the
@XFINITYSports Twitter handle on a daily basis. This is truly a dream job opportunity for anyone looking
to make a name for themselves in the world of sports and social media.
Here’s how it works:
From January 13 – February 6, you can log on to Facebook.com/XFINITY and submit a :30-2:00 video on
the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab that shows why your sports knowledge, social media
expertise, personality, and passion for Comcast products and services makes you the perfect candidate
for the job.
The top video submissions will be featured on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab located
on Facebook.com/XFINITY for fans to vote on from February 9-19. The five entrants who tally the most
votes will advance to the final round of the contest where they will cover one of five premier sports
events the weekend of March 8-11. Following that weekend, a panel of judges will evaluate each
performance and announce the winner of the contest by March 25th!
Head today to Facebook.com/XFINITY and click on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest
tab for all the details, as well as contest rules. Enter soon, as February 6th is the deadline for video
submissions! Thanks to On the Banks partner XFINITY for bringing this opportunity to our
readers.
Thanks again to XFINITY for giving onthebanks.com readers the opportunity to participate in this contest, and for sponsoring this web site.
