The Georgetown BID invites you to create a creative and playful 60 second video highlighting the 18th Annual Taste of Georgetown on October 15.  The winning video and its producer, will be announced and included on the Georgetown BID and Taste of Georgetown websites, Georgetown DC Twitter and Facebook pages, YouTube, as well as other marketing efforts. Winner will receive dinner for two at the Taste of Georgetown participating restaurant of their choice. The video will be used to promote Taste of Georgetown, as well as Georgetown overall, and will remain posted on www.georgetowndc.com and www.tasteofgeorgetownc.com until the 2012 Taste of Georgetown.   The goal of the video is to showcase Georgetown and its great restaurants and offerings, so please keep that in mind as you produce and edit your video.
