Flare internship candidates apply on video, with readers voting

Flare magazine has turned unpaid internships at its magazine website into a competition in which readers vote on video applications.

The three-month internships (January to April) at the Rogers fashion title are unpaid and successful candidates have to pay their own expenses to live in Toronto. To be eligible they must be registered or recently graduated from an accredited college or university. "Basic knowledge of HTML and PhotoShop would be an asset. You must have excellent written and oral communication skills and be able function independently and meet assigned deadlines."

Do you think you have what it takes to become an intern at FLARE? If so, we'd love to meet you! Simply upload a video (90 seconds or less) telling us why you would be the ultimate intern. Make sure your video is unique and interesting to catch the eye of the voters and judges.You must have excellent fashion and internet knowledge and on occasion will work with the marketing, fashion and beauty departments...As part of this amazing opportunity, you will also host your own blog and webisodes tracking your journey with FLARE, both of which will be live on Flare.com.

While readers get to vote online on the videos, the final decision is made by a panel of judges including Flare magazine editor Lisa Tant, Liz Cabral, fashion editor, Elio Ianacci, features director, Juliette Lie, beauty director, Amanda Virtanen, general manager of flare.com, Tracy Finkelstein, director of business development and promotion and Janet Stern, director of human resources at Rogers Publishing.
