From The Contest Queen

The documentary that was filmed last summer about the hobby of contesting and featured contestors from across Canada, will be airing on CBC Thursday March 6^th at 9^pm on the Doc Zone.

Bonnie, of the T.O. Wanna Winners, won the Name The Documentary contest at the convention. Her winning entry? In It To Win It! Sadly, the CBC chose not to use her entry, and instead called the documentary Winning for a Living. I feel their choice immediately gives off the wrong impression of what contestors are really like and why we enter. Thankfully, the project was lead by an award winning director, Nadine Pequeneza, so I believe the hobby, the people and the convention will only be shown in the best possible light.

So, mark your calendars, set your PVRs, and get set to see this hobby the way it’s never been seen before!

The Passionate Eye documentary that was filmed at the Annual National Contestors Convention is due to air on CBC in March. I am still awaiting a final name and air date. I will be sending out the documentary information as soon as I have it.

In the meantime, to satisfy your craving to watch fellow sweepers and contestors on TV, pop The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio in your DVD player and haul out the tissue box.
