Congratulations Doc!

                        

Cleveland City Living would like to congratulate Doc Harrill on winning the grand prize of $5,000 for his Cleveland City Living Award testimonial. Doc's rap, beats, and video production was a testament to Cleveland unlike anything else we had seen, and the voters and judges felt the same! Bravo Doc, keep up the Cleveland Love. Your video and rap was amazing, as was your acceptance speech yesterday!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the awards and the event. Photos and a recap of the event will be posted soon! Until next year, you can continue to follow news about Cleveland City Living at our blog page: www.clevelandcityliving.com

The City Living Awards Application

At Cleveland City Living we love Cleveland; and like many of you, our passion runs as deep as our burning river. Downtown Cleveland is a diverse, vibrant, and energetic community located on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie. We know why we love Cleveland, but we want to hear from you and why YOU love Cleveland.

This year, Cleveland City Living is searching for young professionals who are Cleveland City residents to showcase why they love Cleveland and what makes them a great 'face of Cleveland.' The winner will receive a $5,000 award to assist them in their next move or home improvement project.

Rules to apply:
You must be a resident of Cleveland
You must be between the ages of 21-40
You must submit a video testimonial or complete the written application in essay form.

To Apply:
Submit a video testimonial or complete the application in essay form here. Your video testimonial should answer the same questions that are outlined in the written application (its your choice to either respond with a video or in written form) To submit a video testimonial all you need to do is paste your video link from a video sharing site such as YouTube in the answer box to the questions (make sure to link it twice since all questions are required!)

Below is an example video by Nadine of Cleveland City Living. Remember the videos will be voted on (i.e creativity counts!)

Voting:
The application process will end on Thursday, July 14th and public voting will take place July 18-25. Each participant will be emailed  the link on July 18th to view the submissions and the link to vote so they can share it with their family and friends. The link to vote will also be shared publicly here, on The Cleveland City Living Facebook Page, and on The Cleveland City Living Twitter. So after you apply, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more details!

To Win:
As mentioned above, voting will begin July 18th and end on July 25th. That leaves each participant with 7 days to encourage people to vote for their submission. Those with the highest voting results will move on to become our TOP FINALISTS. A panel of Cleveland judges will vote on the top finalists and the winner will be announced at The Cleveland City Living Awards End of Summer Bash* and win a cash prize of $5,000!
