New and Improved Host Our Coast 2010

We told you about the Host Our Coast inaugural year last year.  Remember?  Well, DLITE is back and betta than eva!  This year, Host Our Coast is offering $15,000 to one lucky winner to travel around the Delmarva peninsula (that’s Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia to you non-mid-atlantickers out there), for three months, blogging, vlogging, and otherwise having a great time while showing others all the cool and wonderful low-impact tourism options that exist in this region of the country.  Last year’s winners stayed in an Ocean City condo for a couple of months but this year’s winner(s) will be traveling around staying (for free) at various condos, bed and breakfasts, and camping sites – fun!  That, coupled with the extra five grand, makes us kick ourselves that we didn’t work on our video skills over this past year.

Sadly, we won’t be applying.  But we know that the caliber of applicants will only get higher and higher as this contest goes on.  So, apply now while your own mediocre video skills will still make the cut!  That’s actually a joke – many of the videos submitted last year were quite professional in quality.  That said, DLITE’s judges didn’t choose the fanciest out there so if your application is well-rounded and you have that certain je ne sais quoi, who knows – you just might be hosting our coast!  Hurry – applications are due on March 15.  If you do apply, make sure to put the link to your video in the comments section so Mindful Tourist readers can see your video.  Good luck!
