    Hi Julie,

    Since you blogged about our “Best Internship on Earth” opportunity a few weeks back, I wanted to give you a heads-up about where we are at in the process. Out of over 800 Youtube submissions from applicants, we’ve narrowed down our search to the top 25-all of whose videos are really entertaining. The finalists’ page is live and awaiting people’s ratings and comments.

    I think Matador Change readers would be very interested in checking out our web page and rating their own personal favorites. And let us know what you think too! Would you like to blog about this?

    Best,
    Sarah
