ALBANY - New York State is reviving the “I Love New York” campaign to help boost tourism to upstate New York.
Tourism officials will announce 15 finalists in the state's first “I Love New York” film contest on Thursday. Filmmakers produced 60-second films on why they love the state.
Comedian and actress Tina Fey and Academy Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman are part of a panel that will pick a winner. The grand prize is a weekend getaway package in New York state.
The winner will be announced at Independent Film Week in New York City in September. The winner's film will appear in a commercial during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast.
The “I Love New York” campaign originally helped increase tourism to New York City in the late 1970s.
