Contest Seeks Buddin Cinematographers To Be International Air Service Caped Crusaders

Be a Local Super Hero

Do you have an interest in overseas travel and a knack for creating video, animation or stop action visual productions? Then a new Port of Portland contest is for you.

Budding cinematographers and directors have until midnight on March 20 to submit a 60-second video that tells viewers why they want to be a "local super hero" and fly nonstop from PDX to Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Tokyo. The grand prize winner will receive four coach tickets to fly to the winner’s choice of any of these three cities on Lufthansa or Northwest (a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines) plus a pre-loaded credit or debit card with a cash value of $2,000 to cover other travel costs.

Second and third prize winners will each receive two coach tickets to fly to the winner's choice of the same destinations offered to the grand prize winner.

Judges will select the top three videos submitted and those videos will be posted on www.kgw.com . The site will call for a public electronic vote for the video which provides the best motivation for "flying overseas from PDX in a single bound." Voting will take place between March 30 and April 3, 2009 and prize winners will be announced April 6. The video receiving the most public votes will be the grand prize winner. The videos receiving the second and third-most public votes will be the second and third prize winners.
