Stars Needed
We want to hear stories about your business. We're looking for personal stories, stories that excite, touch, inspire, make people want to follow their passions and become part of the New Media business community in Manitoba.
if you attended last year's New Media Showcase at IMAX you'll remember that it was the most significant New Media event we've ever hosted bar none.
8 companies and 8 Industry leaders were featured during a 43-minute video showcasing some of our brightest and most innovative new media superstars. Since screening that showcase and marketing it to businesses across North America, the individuals and companies that participated have generated an additional $551,000 in new business for themselves over the past 7 months.
We'd like to do it again.

You may not think you even have a story but we're betting you do! It doesn't matter if you're a big company, or just a one person operation, you have something unique about you to share.
Start by sending us an e-mail and answering the following questions:
Who are you?
What does your business do?
What is exciting, touching, inspiring about your business?
Do you have any unique stories or events that have happened at your business?
How has the New Media business community in Manitoba and/or NMM helped your business?
Include full contact information (phone number, email, website) and links to projects, if applicable.
Deadline for applications is 5pm June 30th, 2010. You can send your email with the above links to iamasuperstar@newmediamanitoba.com
If you are selected you will need to be available for the month of July to be filmed. You'll be responsible for sharing support graphics, videos, and animations with us to include in the profile.
One small caveat I'll mention is that we're still working on getting all the resources in place to shoot the videos and have a similar IMAX event like last year. It costs a fair bit of money to host an event of this size so we're seeking sponsorship. If you know of someone that can help support this initiative with some investment please let us know.
Don't forget you only have until June 30th to submit your story!
