Think you can do a better job promoting Korea than the KTO? Here's a chance to prove it and win a five-star hotel stay or a trip to Japan. Yes, I enjoy the irony as well, but that's a prize I know I'd enjoy if I won it. From the press release:

In Stage 1, which lasts until the end of May, contestants can submit their videos to 10 Magazine, and the videos will be put up for viewing at the magazine’s website 10magazine.asia. Then, from June 2^nd through June 9^th, readers of 10 Magazine will have the opportunity to choose their favorite 10 videos by voting online.

In the third and final stage, 10 Magazine’s professional judges from the tourism industry will each rate the videos, and their scores will be combined to determine the rankings. All of this will culminate in an awards ceremony and press conference to be held on June 12^th, 2010 at Villa Sortino Restaurant in Itaewon, in which prizes will be awarded to each of the top 10 winners. Prizes include tickets to Korean performances such as Nanta and Miso and hotel stays at the Lotte Hotel Busan and the Millennium Hilton Seoul. The grand prize will be a three-day, two-night trip to Tokyo for two, including airfare on Delta Air Lines and two nights’ stay in an Executive Room with breakfast at the Hilton Tokyo.

As you might expect, there are some rules to follow - for more information about the contest, check out the contest's page. Have fun!
