Virginia Tech News
From: Brenda van Gelder, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Initiatives
Are you the next Steven Spielberg, Coen Brother, Stanley Kubrick or Alfred Hitchcock? You can be and bring Google fiber to Blacksburg too!
Blacksburg and Virginia Tech have teamed up to submit a joint application for Google’s recent push to build ultra-high speed fiber networks in a number of locations across the country. If selected, Blacksburg would be the recipient of Internet speeds 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today.
Thousands of communities will be vying for Google’s attention, so we need your help to make Blacksburg stand out among the rest
The Town’s application to Google needs to be creative and reflect why Blacksburg should be chosen among every other community in the country. The Town government response will include a compelling You Tube video. Whose video shall it be? Check out the submission criteria and send them your best stuff.
We also need a fun, attention grabbing title for the application. Check out the submission criteria for the naming contest as well.
Entries must be received by 8:00 am on March 15. The winning recipients will receive a $100 Downtown Blacksburg gift certificate.
For more information, contact Brenda van Gelder at (540) 231-1853.
