Win A Trip To The VMAs With Think.MTV.Com!

By Jocelyn Vena

Think.MTV.com is offering one lucky activist the chance to attend this year’s Video Music Awards on September 7 in Los Angeles. Any Think.MTV.com member who joins the group “Do Good. Go to the VMAs” between Thursday and August 22 will be registered to win two tickets to the VMAs, as well as hotel and travel accommodations.

All you have to do is go to Think.MTV.com, join the group “Do Good. Go to the VMAs” and start sharing your summer volunteer experiences. Upload videos, photos, audio or blog about the ways you gave back this summer. Contestants must be at least 18 years old to win.

“MTV Research shows that young people seek out and appreciate recognition for taking action on issues that are important to them,” said Ian Rowe, senior vice president of strategic partnerships and public affairs. “Contests like ‘Do Good. Go to the VMAs’ celebrate young people’s efforts, helping to normalize activism and create positive peer pressure to ‘do good.’ ”

There’s one more contest that Think.MTV.com has up its sleeve. Politically minded individuals can submit a 90-second viral video for the “In the Time It Takes” competition showing young people how easy it is to vote. The winner will get a trip for two to LA and VIP passes to Declare Yourself’s “Young Hollywood” party in September. All entries are due August 3. You can find more info here.
