9:24 a.m., Nov. 4, 2009----The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and mtvU announced their second annual "Oscar Correspondent Contest," giving college journalists nationwide the chance to win a trip to Los Angeles to cover red carpet festivities and backstage activities at the 82nd Academy Awards set March 7, 2010.
Through Dec. 18, college students are invited to submit a video showcasing their broadcast journalism skills and proving why they deserve to cover the Oscars. All videos submitted must be from teams made up of one anchor and one videographer. The Academy and mtvU will select the top ten videos to be posted online at mtvU.com, where students and other viewers can watch and vote for their favorite journalists from Jan. 20 through Feb. 10.
The three teams whose videos capture the most votes will advance to the final round of online voting from Feb. 16 through March 2. All three teams will be flown to Los Angeles to cover Academy Awards pre-events.
The grand prize-winning team will be revealed on Saturday, March 6, at an Academy press conference. The anchor and videographer will be awarded a spot on the red carpet for the 82nd Academy Awards arrivals, as well as credentials for access to backstage press rooms. The winning team's coverage will be aired on MTV News and mtvU. The two finalist teams will receive bleacher seats along the red carpet and admission to an Oscar viewing party.
