“Get inspired” Video Contest

Are you familiar with the CouchSurfing network? It is a volunteer-based worldwide network connecting travelers with members of local communities, who offer free accommodation and/or advice. The CouchSurfing team sees amazing videos created by CouchSurfers every day. This year, they’d like to say thanks by giving two filmmakers the best prize they can give:  more incredible experiences.

CouchSurfing is all about “Inspiring Experiences.”  What does that mean to you?  Create an inspiring video and you could be off exploring the world in no time!  Two winners will each receive a round-the-world airline ticket for a once in a lifetime CouchSurfing adventure.  Winning videos will also be featured on the CouchSurfing homepage and YouTube channel.
