College launches biggest student contest ever

January 15, 2010

Medicine Hat College announced today its biggest student contest in its history. New and returning students are being asked to send MHC a short video expressing why they should be the Face of MHC, where the contributor of the winning video will win MHC tuition and on-campus residence for one year, as well as a laptop, video camera, and MHC merchandise - a total prize package valued at approximately $15,000 dollars.

The student selected as the Face of MHC will work with Medicine Hat College staff during the 2010-2011 school year to enhance communications with students on campus as well as individuals considering attending MHC. By documenting their college experience through blog writing and self-produced videos posted to the college website, others will be able to get a glimpse into what it’s really like to be a college student - straight from the source.

“We are really excited to launch the Face of MHC contest. It’s an excellent prize for students, and a great way to get them involved in sharing their college experience with others,” says Marketing Officer Colleen Graham. “The Face of MHC will bring a student perspective to college promotions, which is really what new students are looking for.”

To enter the Face of MHC contest, students must be Canadian residents, 16 year of age or older, and planning to be a full-time credit student at Medicine Hat College during the 2010-2011 academic year. Both new and returning students are encouraged to enter. For complete contest information, visit www.mhc.ab.ca/faceofMHC. Contest entry deadline is March 5, 2010.
