Alright guys, here's a nifty contest that Xfinity is running -- The Ultimate Sports Social Media Job Contest. I'm not able to apply, but lots of you are, and you folks are sharp as tacks! We're on Xfinity's home turf, so let's get some Philadelphia representation on here. Details after the jump...

Have you ever wanted a shot at winning your dream job in sports social media? Here’s your chance – XFINITY is launching a nationwide contest to find the next sports social media star to serve as the voice of XFINITY behind-the-scenes at the biggest sporting events nationwide in 2012.

The contest is called "Xfinity Presents: The Ultimate Sports Social Media Job" and runs from January 13th through March 25th. The winner will receive a one-year salary, all the electronics for the ultimate sports pad, and will have the opportunity to share thoughts, insights, and content with fans nationwide via the @XFINITYSports Twitter handle on a daily basis. This is truly a dream job opportunity for anyone looking to make a name for themselves in the world of sports and social media.

Here’s how it works:

From January 13 – February 6, you can log on to Facebook.com/XFINITY and submit a :30-2:00 video on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab that shows why your sports knowledge, social media expertise, personality, and passion for Comcast products and services makes you the perfect candidate for the job.

The top video submissions will be featured on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab located on Facebook.com/XFINITY for fans to vote on from February 9-19. The five entrants who tally the most votes will advance to the final round of the contest where they will cover one of five premier sports events the weekend of March 8-11. Following that weekend, a panel of judges will evaluate each performance and announce the winner of the contest by March 25th!

Head today to Facebook.com/XFINITY and click on the Ultimate Sports Social Media Job contest tab for all the details, as well as contest rules. Enter soon, as February 6th is the deadline for video submissions! Thanks to The Good Phight partner XFINITY for bringing this opportunity to our readers.

Taking a lead from Eric over at Amazin' Avenue, The Good Phight will be donating its proceeds from this campaign to The ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter, and Dress for Success.

My wife works for the ALS Association (albeit in a different state), we’ve both lost relatives to the disease. She’ll be excited to hear this.

Props, WC.

Love the donation idea, first off. Huzzah for WC.

The prize, interwebz toys aside, strikes me as somewhat hellish, like the Clockwork Orange-style MLB FanCave. I wouldn’t mind going to the Pro Bowl, for instance, except for the fact that I wouldn’t go to the damn game. And I just get the sense that if I won and did stuff like that, Comcast goons would gift me next with concrete swimming flippers.

Don’t think the nation is quite ready for hyper-link’d sports-themed poetry anyways, and alas, just about all of my work fails to meet any of section (3)‘s requirements and is © SB Nation anyways. The strange part is, I’m having trouble thinking of anyone I enjoy reading who does. Maybe Bill Baer? I’d dig it if ZWR won.
