Every summer we challenge our EA Interns/Co-ops in the United States and Canada to compete in an annual Video Competition! The theme of this year’s contest was to show us why an Internship/Co-op at EA “ROCKS” by using our games, technologies, and studio locations in a video. And… to make the contest a little bit more interesting… we added bragging rights and… a custom engraved iPad® for members of the winning team!
The videos were judged on several criteria – creativity, the use of EA products, illustrating the “Intern/Co-op experience” at EA, the best use of a studio location, and the video that encompassed the most fun/humour, as well as best use of technology/FX/art in their video.
As always, the teams did an awesome job, but there unfortunately can only be one winner. So, we are happy to announce that this year’s overall winner (and the winners of a shiny new iPad®) is ….Team Two from EA Canada!! Congratulations EAC Team Two!!! And… let’s not forget the team from our Tiburon (Orlando, Florida) studio who came in just behind the EAC Team Two in the judging. The members of the Tiburon team each collected $200 gift cards for their 2nd place finish. Congratulations to the Tiburon team!!!
Last, but not least, we want to give a huge shout out to all of the Interns/Co-ops that participated in this year’s event!!! A special giant high five goes out to the team from EA Redwood Shores who had the most creative video of the bunch and an over-the-top fist bump goes out to Team One from EA Canada for best showcasing their studio location in their video. Once again, we were so impressed with all of the videos that were created in just a matter of weeks. Great work everyone! They are all amazing!
