Mar. 17, 2008 - CENTURY 21 is now on YouTube.com

And you could win $21,000

Last Friday, CENTURY 21 launched the housing industry's first branded channel on YouTube.com.

To engage both consumers and agents during the Channel launch, the CENTURY 21 System will also host the My CENTURY 21 Open Home Contest, a user-generated video contest where sellers can work with their CENTURY 21 agent to create an “open house” video for submission on www.youtube.com/century21.  The videos should feature a 60-second clip of the seller and home, accompanied by a 15-second introduction or closing by the agent. 

Contest entrants are encouraged to conduct an emotional walkthrough of the home, using humor and creativity to provide an entertaining tour of their homes.  Participants should be mindful of appropriate language, dress and topics in order to qualify for the grand and runners-up prizes.

Through a popular vote on YouTube, the YouTube community will select the top 10 entries, and the grand prize winner will be selected by an executive committee within Century 21 Real Estate LLC.  Voting is open now through May 9, 2008.   The CENTURY 21 System will announce the winners via YouTube on May 13, 2008.

Contest winners will receive the following prizes:

•First prize-consumer winner will receive a $21,000 check and a high definition television; the accompanying agent will also receive a HDTV

•The second through tenth prize winners will receive a digital video camera (1GB)

In addition to the prizes listed above, consumers who log onto the branded CENTURY 21 YouTube Channel will have the opportunity to enter into a random drawing for a $25 gift certificate for music downloads.
