YouTube Contest Encourages Ex-Girlfriends & Ex-Boyfriends to Forgive
The Bohemian Love Diaries EX Video Challenge
Award-winning storyteller and author Slash Coleman in conjunction with the release of his memoir “The Bohemian Love Diaries” (which chronicles his history of failed relationships) invites submissions for original and creative videos focusing on making amends with ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, ex-wives, and ex-husbands.
“I can’t imagine a better gift than an olive branch,” Coleman says. “With these videos I’m hoping others will begin to recognize the reality of forgiveness and love as a powerful agent of social change in a world often characterized by intolerance. Since I’m going to be filming my own videos of making up with all my exes I figured having some company along the way couldn’t hurt. Hence the video contest.”
The contest is open to anyone in the United States and contestants are invited to submit a 1-3 minute video via Youtube tagged – #BohoXO – Entrants Name. A prestigious national jury will select one Grand Prize Winner who will receive $1,000. The top 10 videos will be featured on Coleman’s upcoming national book tour.
The deadline for video submission is August 1, 2013. Further information, including contest rules and awards can be found at www.slashcoleman.com
