SCOORRO, N.M., May 13, 2008 -- Congratulations to the winners of New Mexico Tech's Spring 2008 video contest! This spring's YouTube contest, with four entries, was a huge success, generating close to 47,500 hits on a Tech-related YouTube site. Thanks to everyone who participated!

• Jordan Fastle wins first place ($500) with the NM Tech Parkour Video-- 25,439 hits
• Scot Youngblood wins second place ($200) with the Sunset over NM Tech Video--20,372 hits
• Timothy Barnes won third place with "the Student's Quest" ($100) --956 hits

We're going to do it again this fall! All students are invited to submit their NM Tech video to Colleen Guengerich (in the Public Information Office, Fidel Center) by mid-September. (Dates will be announced in August). Your video's focus should be to present Tech to the larger web-community. It can be ANYTHING. The only rules are no nudity, no life-threatening stunts and nothing illegal. Other than that, show YOUR life at Tech, or how YOU see Tech….etc.

The winner will be the video with the most hits between September and mid-December.

You have all summer to work on this, and we look forward to seeing your videos in the fall.

If you have questions please call Colleen at 835-5352 or email cguengerich@admin.nmt.edu
