If you’re a U.S. college student interested in TV and promotion, the CW has an opportunity for you: Making the Cut IV.

If you are a college student, “Making the Cut “ is challenging you to create a killer trailer that could jump start your creative career by winning an Unpaid internship at The CW Television Network. Did we mention your spot could air on TV? That’s right, your trailer airing on one of the biggest television networks on the planet. Does it get any better than that?

The creative objective of this competition (and don’t forget this is a competition) is to put together a piece of non-traditional promotion that captures the essence of one of the following shows: Gossip Girl, 90210, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries.

For more information on rules and how to enter, check out the CW Blog. Again, the contest is only open to U.S. citizens of 18 years of age or older. Contest deadline is April 23rd. Good luck!

17 days of this hiatus left until we get to see “A Few Good Men” (well, those of us who weren’t lucky enough to see the advance screening at the Vampire Diaries panel at PaleyFest, at any rate). You all surviving? If not, we’ve got a giveaway to keep you going through the next couple of weeks. This week one lucky tweeter will get to read about where the Vampire Diaries began with L.J. Smith’s original quartet of books (more recently bundled up into two omnibus volumes). Read on to find out how to enter.

As usual, we’re doing this on Twitter over the course of the next 24 hours. If you don’t have a Twitter account, it’s easy to sign up for one, and it’s also fun.

• To enter, simply tweet which characters you ’ship in the Vampire Diaries to @tvdnews. It can be a canon pairing, or a couple you wish would get together in the show. For example: @tvdnews Stefan/Elena (or Damon/Bonnie, Matt/Caroline, etc). Also, please only tweet at us once to enter – tweeting more than once does not improve your chances of winning and makes things more difficult for us.
• The winner will be picked randomly using the ‘names in a virtual hat’ method (or, more boringly, a random name picker script).
• You’ll need to be following @tvdnews – we’ll be DMing the winner.
• This giveaway is open to anyone in the world, not just the USA.
• These will be English language versions of the books. Covers may differ depending on your location in the world.
• You have until Tuesday, March 9, 8pm ET to enter. (You can use the World Clock to work out when that is in relation to your own time zone).

 
If you have any questions, feel free to tweet them at us, or use the contact form to get in touch. We’re also planning on a few more giveaways in the future, so keep an eye out.

Good luck, everyone!
