NEW YORK – Are you proud of your hometown? Want to show it off to the world? Do you think your neighborhood makes as good a travel destination as any place out there?
GOOD magazine is looking for a few great places to visit, and the editors are looking for videos created by regular folks about what there is to see and do in their hometowns. "We're asking you to serve as a tourist bureau for your neighborhood," the editors write in the July/August issue. "Tell us about your favorite local spot, or better yet, take us on a video tour of it."
Deadline for entries is Aug. 11. Videos must be less than two minutes long and smaller than 100 megabytes. Entries will be posted on the magazine's Web site and the "most illuminating tour guide" will win two domestic plane tickets to anywhere JetBlue flies, the magazine promises.
