If you use RTD, you can win a season ski pass.

The DU Transportation Center will award the Colorado Five Mountain Ski Pass to a student with the best video demonstrating how they use RTD transit.  The deadline for entries is Oct. 11.

Each video should be up to two minutes in length and should display students using the bus or light rail system in a fun and easy way.

The contest is already accepting submissions and the first 50 students to submit their video will receive gift certificates to Fuhgidabowdit’s Pizzeria.

On Oct. 11, a panel of judges from the center will choose the best video in four categories – Night on the Town, Destinations of a Shop-a-holic, Sports Fun and DU Keeping Busy in the Mile High City.

“We are trying to let them [the students] know how easy and fun it is to use their transit pass,” said Ben Turner of Transportation Solutions, a participant in creating the contest.

The four selected winners, along with one wild-card winner, will go on to compete for the grand prize.

Students will be able to vote for the best video on the DU Transportation Center’s Facebook fan page Oct. 12 through 16.

Along with being eligible for the grand prize, the student with the best video in each category will win a $50 gift certificate to a place relating to their category, such as a sporting event or restaurant.

“I hope people use their RTD passes and start building lifetime habits of public transportation use,” said Turner.
