Trip to Las Vegas is ‘On, Wisconsin!’ YouTube contest prize

The winners of the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s “On, Wisconsin!” YouTube contest will receive two travel packages to Las Vegas to attend the Badger football game against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 4.

The travel packages, sponsored by the Wisconsin Alumni Association and University Communications, will include:

• Round-trip plane tickets to Las Vegas from Madison, Wis.
• A ticket to the football game at the Sam Boyd Stadium
• Three nights at the Treasure Island Hotel from Thursday, Sept. 2-Sunday, Sept. 5
• Welcome breakfast at the Treasure Island Hotel on Friday, Sept. 3
• Badger Huddle pregame event at the stadium
• Round-trip transportation between the hotel and the airport and the hotel and the stadium
• A special WAA tour souvenir

The contest commemorates the 100th anniversary of the UW fight song by inviting students, alumni, faculty, staff and Badger fans everywhere to submit a video of their own rendition of “On, Wisconsin!” to onwisconsin@uc.wisc.edu.

Entries will be accepted until Monday, April 5. Anyone 18 or older is eligible to win the travel package.

University Communications is co-sponsoring an open mic night with the Wisconsin Union Directorate for students to perform “On, Wisconsin!” from 8:30-11 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25, in the Rathskeller at the Memorial Union, 800 Langdon St. University Communications will film all performances and automatically enter them in the contest.

Winners will be selected in three other categories for largest group performance, performance farthest from Madison and most creative performance. Prizes include a spot in a 30-second commercial for the university, Babcock ice cream and limited edition T-shirts developed by the Wisconsin Alumni Association.

All prizes will be awarded to the person who submits the video, deemed the “official team representative.” It will be up to the representative and members of the group to delegate any awards.
