All about the LA Gay & Lesbian Center’s ‘An Evening with Women’ Video Contest!

Last week, I detailed the rules for a video contest that could win you a really fantastic weekend in Beverly Hills for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s “An Evening with Women: Celebrating Art, Music & Equality” event on May 1.

Since the deadline is on Monday, it’s time for a reminder so above is a video featuring Annie Goto, one of the event co-chairs, explaining the contest.

If you enter and win a video contest to can win two tickets to the glitzy evening that will feature Gina Gershon (pictured, who recently starred in a Broadway revival of Bye Bye Birdie), Heart, Oscar winner Renée Zellweger (Bridget Jones’s Diary, Chicago) and Sarah Silverman (The Sarah Silverman Program).

Presented by the Center, Songwriter/ Producer Linda Perry and Impresario/Event Producer Brent Bolthouse, the evening takes place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and raises money to benefit the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s women’s services.

The way to win is to be get across why you want to be at ‘An Evening with Women.’ Videos could focus, for example, on a particular star you’re dying to see or focus on why you want to be at a huge gala event for lesbians, bisexual women and their supporters.

The center is encouraging people to get creative with format (monologue, skit, etc) but there is no need to spend lots of money on it – content is what matters. You can just do simple webcam/flip camera videos.

The contest winner will be selected via public voting at www.facebook.com/aneveningwithwomen. Entries must be submitted at www.facebook.com/aneveningwithwomen by Monday, April 5 at 12 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). Public voting opens at noon April 5 and closes at noon PDT on Monday, April 12.

For more information or to purchase tickets, go to www.AnEveningWithWomen.org. Tickets are $300 per seat or $3,000 for a table.

The deadline for entries is April 5!
