HOW DOES THIS RELATE
To The Book of Jer3miah?
Fan Contest
A Fan Contest would give the fans of Jer3miah a chance to show their love of the show through YouTube. They could be allowed to make any kind of video they’d like, as long as it incorporates the show.
In order to create more hype, we can have a minimum “views” requirement, so that they’ll be sure to share it with their friends
For a prize we could give them merchandise (because there should be) and/or a chance to make a small appearance on the show.
