Earlier this week, we announced the top 30 finalists in the race for the IV Sammic Scholarship for BasqueStage. This talented bunch now has to show us what they’ve really got.
The first stage of round two is for the candidates to craft a video.
This video will be between one and two minutes, and the candidate will have the chance to explain who (s)he is, why (s)he wants to participate in BasqueStage, and any other things considered interesting and relevant. These videos, will be uploaded to Vimeo (or Youtube), and then posted to the candidates’ blogs. This video is not (necessarily) a cooking demo, as they have been in the past. Candidates have total creative control.
This is the first step in getting to know our top 30, whether it’s at a market or in front of their computer. Candidates should designate it in the text of the post as ‘BasqueStage Candidate Video’ and send a link upon completion.
Follow along as they compete to show us who deserves to be in Basque Country, Spain, on their culinary chance of a lifetime, with all expenses paid.
Stay tuned!
