Another Reason to Tell Us “Why Chicago”: Chicago Style Pizza

Loving Chicago style pizza may win you a trip to Vancouver to get a sneak peek of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. If you don’t win this grand prize, you could score $5,000 of video production equipment. 

All you have to do is create a video of your pizza-loving ways and submit it to us. 

Running through November 25, the “Why Chicago” contest invites film makers and fans of Chicago to create YOUR take on why Chicago should host the Chicago 2016 Olympic and Paralymic Games (in this case, our fantastic selection of pizza). If you don’t get selected for one of the prizes, your video may still be chosen to be featured on NBC5 Chicago. Voters also have a choice to win. Yep - a lucky group of video viewers will win a trip to the USOC headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.

I’ve seen screaming matches over pizza. Deep dish versus thin crust. Gino’s East versus Lou Malnati’s. I’m a Home Run Inn fan, myself (frozen is OK, but the restaurant on 31st street still makes my mouth water).  

What do you think? Is there a pizza joint you want to tell us about? Are you passionate about telling the world about Chicago’s deep dish pizza? What are you waiting for?!

Grab a camera, get your creative bug going and make that video.  Who knew your favorite food could win you a trip out West?
