MySpace is announcing the launch today of “MyState of the Union“, a video contest where entrants express their views on the state of America and where it should be headed.The nominees will be selected by Former Senate Majority Leader Dr. Bill Frist, former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta and political bloggers Markos Moulitsas Zuniga of DailyKos and Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online. MySpace users will vote for the winner, who will be announced on January 22nd - a day before the annual State of the Union address. The prize is an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, DC. They’re also providing buttons to post to your profile page and the videos are hosted on MySpace Video.
It’s one of many contests launched recently by MySpace - others include the Stand Up or Sit Down Comedy Challenge and The MySpace Impact Awards. The site also launched a political campaign in September called Declare Yourself - another commendable attempt to get young people interested in politics. Meanwhile, YouTube has launched countless video contests over recent months - YouTube Underground, the Southwest contest and many smaller competitions like Real Housewives.
