TCM Ultimate Fan Contest gives winner chance to introduce a movie on-air

Have you ever watched Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz introduce movies on TCM and think, “Hey, I could do that?” Well, now you have your chance with the TCM Ultimate Fan Contest. Submit a video of yourself introducing one of your favorite movies to http://fancontest.tcm.com before Oct. 31, and one lucky entrant will be picked to win a trip to the 2014 TCM Classic Film Festival and given a chance to introduce a movie at the festival and on the network.

It’s all tied to the classic-movie channel’s 20th anniversary. Here is the release from the network: 

TCM’s Ultimate Fan Contest is one of several initiatives being rolled out during the buildup to TCM’s 20th anniversary, which will take place in conjunction with 2014 TCM Classic Film Festival in April. “The biggest factor driving TCM’s success over the past 20 years is the passion our fans have for classic film,” said Jeff Gregor, general manager of Turner Classic Movies and chief marketing officer of TCM, TNT and TBS. “Through TCM’s Ultimate Fan Contest, we’re giving one member of the TCM community the chance to share his/her devotion to classic movies in a big way.”
 
Fans who wish to participate in TCM’s Ultimate Fan Contest should create a 90-second introduction to a classic film of their choice. Fans can create an introduction for a movie they’ve never seen before, or a beloved classic that can be introduced in a new way. Fans submitting videos are encouraged to be creative, informative and have some fun as they take on the role of a TCM host. 
 
After the submission period closes, one winner chosen from eligible submissions will get the opportunity to co-host a film on-air with Robert Osborne and introduce a film at the 2014 TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood. Also included in the prize package is a trip for two to Hollywood for the festival, plus accommodations, a pair of festival passes and more.

  1. How can I submit the video for the contest? Because the site described above doesn’t open (at least not on the iPad). Is there another way to submit it?
    Thank you for your attention.
