Nothing thrills us more than when a fun new idea gets propelled along by a great partner like The Orange County Register. They are helping us promote our Social Media Songwriters Challenge on Facebook to local schools through their Register in Education program.
The OCR's Register in Education program is part of a national effort called Newspapers in Education (NIE). Newspapers across the nation, including The Orange County Register, have been working collaboratively with local schools for decades to provide teachers, students, and parents with innovative teaching tools and the opportunity to use the newspaper as a living textbook.
Learning programs allow students to delve into subjects like math, science, politics, health, geography, and much more using up-to-the-minute information found only inside the daily newspaper. These programs are provided FREE to Orange County schools, thanks to generous donations from corporate sponsors and individual contributions from people like you.
Our Social Media Songwriting Challenge comes with a $2,000 Grand Prize which any school can use toward reaching their fundraising goals. Register in Education and Tustin Hyundai both know how much talent there is in Orange County and that our next catchy jingle (We like "buying a car's a dream with the OC Auto Team", but you can submit anything) will probably be submitted by a student!
Just create a catchy jingle and upload at least a 60 second video to our Facebook page here.
Five top nominees will be selected and all runners-up will receive $250.
All winners will have donations made on their behalf to Musicians on Call, which brings music to the bedsides of patients in treatment facilities.
