Backstage Blogger Footage

Remember that contest that SOE held prior to Fan Faire? The one where the winners would get a Bloggie camera to record things? Well SOE has announced the winners and uploaded their footage to YouTube. Details and links after the break.

Presenting The Winners of SOE’s Backstage Blogger Contest

Before Fan Faire, SOE held a contest looking for bloggers to cover the event and put their own unique spin on the festivities.  We selected four talented winners!  They each won a Bloggie camera kit to use as they video taped the ins and outs (and some behind-the-scenes action) of Fan Faire. 

We’ve collected all their videos for your viewing pleasure!  If you missed out on Fan Faire (or just can’t remember some of what happened there!) watching the coverage our Backstage Bloggers grabbed will make you feel like you were right there with us.

Thank you to everyone who entered the contest and thank you to our winners for the awesome footage!
