There certainly seem to be a lot of interesting hotel competitions doing the rounds at the moment, and here’s yet another one!
TENor15 are a French spoof rock band that have been brought together to do a summer promotion for the mid-range IBIS hotel chain. They are rather fun, with their take on big 80s rock anthems, complete with the mad hair, compulsory eye makeup (on the boys of course!) and those insanely complicated guitar riffs. The competition consists of you creating an account on Youtube (if you don’t already have one) and then filming yourself and your friends lipsyncing to the TENor15 song, “Rock you tonight”. All you then have to do is upload your new video to Youtube, naming it ‘TENor15contest_ibis’, and then sending an email to [email protected] with your first name, last name, address, Youtube ID and the link to your video on Youtube.
Of the videos that are uploaded, the 30 that get the most views will be submitted to a jury who will select the 10 contest winners from that group. There are a whole bunch of prizes on offer, including a Dean guitar, 6 8GB iPod nanos and 10 free weekends at IBIS hotels across Europe, although I doubt you’re allowed to trash your hotel room at the end of your stay! Not bad for an hour or two’s effort setting up a video! If you’re particularly taken with TENor15, you can also follow them on Twitter or give them the thumbs up on their Facebook fanpage.
Here’s the “Rock you tonight” video that you’ll be lip-syncing to, and a short video from the band explaining the details of the contest. Good luck!
