The Ultimate Sports Social Media Job Contest

by Chemmy on Jan 20, 2012 6:57 PM EST

Greetings Canadian friends who don't have Comcast cable or internet but spend their days grotesquely begging for freedom from Bell, Rogers, or whoever owns the Leafs today. Have you ever wanted a shot at winning your dream job in sports social media? Here’s your chance – XFINITY is launching a nationwide contest to find the next sports social media star to serve as the voice of XFINITY behind-the-scenes at the biggest sporting events nationwide in 2012.

The contest is called "Xfinity Presents: The Ultimate Sports Social Media Job" and runs from January 13th through March 25th. The winner will receive a one-year salary, all the electronics for the ultimate sports pad, and will have the opportunity to share thoughts, insights, and content with fans nationwide via the @XFINITYSports Twitter handle on a daily basis. This is truly a dream job opportunity for anyone looking to make a name for themselves in the world of sports and social media.

Here’s how it works:

From January 13 – February 6, you can log on to Facebook.com/XFINITY and submit a :30-2:00 video on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab that shows why your sports knowledge, social media expertise, personality, and passion for Comcast products and services makes you the perfect candidate for the job.

The top video submissions will be featured on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab located on Facebook.com/XFINITY for fans to vote on from February 9-19. The five entrants who tally the most votes will advance to the final round of the contest where they will cover one of five premier sports events the weekend of March 8-11. Following that weekend, a panel of judges will evaluate each performance and announce the winner of the contest by March 25th!

Head today to Facebook.com/XFINITY and click on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab for all the details, as well as contest rules. Enter soon, as February 6th is the deadline for video submissions! Thanks to Pension Plan Puppets partner XFINITY for bringing this opportunity to our readers.

Chemmy

curious as to why you chose Dec 04th 2009 (My Birthday) the day that Peter Laviolette was hired as the new head coach of the FLYERS as your picture for this article ?

It sounds like an interesting contest and as appealing as it is I am happy doing what I do.

Yeah you can say that but, XFINITY is only in the USA right ? Just like Rogers is only in CDN right? and I imagine if Rogers Cable did a similar thing it would be for Canadians only.
