CompulsiveTraveler.tv has been selected by the European Travel Commission as the ideal site to host its first-ever “My Favorite European Video” contest – thanks to the storytelling flair and power of Compulsive Traveler videos to inspire Americans in Europe to shoot and upload their own funny, poignant, serious or silly stories on video. The Compulsive Traveler site is becoming a dominant player in the rapidly changing travel video space.

The best videos – as selected by a panel of film and travel experts – will be showcased for the traveling public to vote for their own favorites on the European Travel Commission website. Winning videographers will be awarded a trip to the European destination of their choice, HD video cameras and other prizes. The contest, launched on April 6th, speaks to travelers with video cameras who've been to Europe or are heading there in coming months.

The contest will wrap on September 30, 2008, giving travelers returning from their summer journeys in Europe the time to sit down at their computers to indulge in some creative – quite possibly rewarding – video storytelling.
