$100,000 College Tuition Contest

Trugo, a new social networking site, announced a $100,000 college tuition contest which will award ten winners up to $30,000 in tuition funds. College students around the country may enter the online video contest by recording a four-minute video performance answering the question “Why Should Trugo Pay for Your Tuition?”

In their submitted videos, students are encouraged to describe their future aspirations and why they are worthy of the first place prize of $30,000 for their tuition. The video submissions will be voted on by the Trugo user community based on relevance to the contest theme, creativity and originality. In addition to the $30,000 grand prize, the second prize winner will receive $20,000 and third place $15,000. The fourth to tenth place winners will receive $5,000 each.

To enter the tuition contest, students must first register. Video submissions will be received until January 15, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Voting ends January 25, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Winners will be announced January 30, 2008.
