Nova Scotia Tourism Launches 'iLove Nova Scotia' Contest

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (July 10, 2009). Nova Scotia Tourism announces the "iLove Nova Scotia" Video Contest giving travelers and residents alike the opportunity to show others what they love most about the ocean province.

Entrant videos will be shown on the Nova Scotia Tourism website, with the Grand Prize winner decided by popular vote. The iLove Nova Scotia Grand Prize is a custom built Nova Scotia dream vacation worth $15,000 that includes travel and accommodations plus allowances to enjoy fine Nova Scotia entertainment, tours, attractions and events.

The contest entry period opened on Monday, July 6, 2009 and closes on August 31, 2009 and is open to everyone, residents as well as visitors and anyone who has ever wanted to experience Nova Scotia's charm and beauty firsthand. From its picturesque ocean coastline, to the dramatic cliffs of Cape Breton, to the charm of its hundreds of fishing and country villages, to the unique hospitality of its port cities, the contest welcomes video submissions of all sites and experiences.

Contest submissions are made simply by uploading videos to the iLove Nova Scotia Contest entry page where users can find complete rules and regulations. This is also where users vote for their favourite videos and can email the page to a friend or share with their social networks.

The iLove Nova Scotia contest will also be promoted throughout Nova Scotia's Visitor Information Centres (VIC), which will be equipped with cameras to record "iLove Nova Scotia" stories from visitors and upload on site.
