I agreed to run the PR in this space because I was flattered SNET knew about me at all and...well, Im nothing if not a shill. Anyways, here's the announcement in all it's glory:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ROGERS SPORTSNET IS LOOKING FOR THE “CONNECTED FLAMES FAN”
Flames fan videos will be voted on to win grand prize
CALGARY (November 7, 2008) – Rogers Sportsnet is giving fans of the Calgary Flames a chance to prove why they are the “Connected Flames Fan”.
The Connected Fan contest is asking Flames fans to upload a 90-second video that demonstrates how passionate, knowledgeable and committed to their home team. The maximum length of any submission is 90 seconds.
Fans will vote for the finalists, who will be interviewed by a Sportsnet panel to determine the winner.
Flames fans can go to www.sportsnet.ca/connected_fan and upload their video for a chance to win the following prizing:
* 4 tickets to a Flames home game
* Team-autographed Flames jersey

Last season, Tim Haney of Calgary was the Connected Fan for the Flames in 2007.
Pretty decent prize pack for all you aspiring or amateur videoists out there.
