Anime Festival Orlando 9 announces YouTube contest

Orlando, FL (May 15, 2008) - Anime Festival Orlando is giving fans of the event a chance to win two weekend passes to its convention being held at the Wyndham Orlando Resort from August 14 - 17, 2008. Each year, attendees of AFO come from all over the world, so AFO wants to know: "How Do You Plan To Get To AFO?"

To participate in the contest, fans will make a fun and entertaining video about how they plan to get to AFO9. Their vignette can be up to 3 minutes long and as Anime Festival Orlando is always a family event, all entries must be PG. Videos must be uploaded to YouTube™ by the deadline of 11:59pm on June 30, 2008. AFO staff will choose the winner, but entries will be screened for viewers at Anime Festival Orlando.

The winner of the AFO9 YouTube™ Contest will receive two 3-day membership passes to AFO9 with the "Passport to Orlandia" upgrade, two vintage AFO t-shirts as well as a $50.00 Visa Gift card: over $200 worth of prizes!
