The Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau is conducting an online video contest that seems to be a great opportunity for Belmont students. We’re asking for video submissions expressing the videographer’s view of the alternative side to Nashville’s music scene. It’s completely free to enter and the grand prize winner will receive $2,500, a trip to Nashville (air & hotel for out-of-towners or gas card and hotel for locals), VIP tickets to the Next Big Nashville music festival and more. There are actually more than 1,000 prizes to be awarded. It’s a great opportunity to do something fun, have your work seen and win some cash. For complete details, go to www.visitmusiccity.com/flipsideofnashville.
