*BET Networks is kicking off a 20 plus city truck tour to encourage young people to register to vote. To create awareness and excitement around their voter engagement initiative, “Voice Your Vote,” BET is tying in the promotional tour with their upcoming “BET Hip Hop Awards Show”, airing on October 4 at 8pm ET. The goal is to create an exciting, accessible and engaging way to make young African-American people aware of the voter registration deadlines in their cities and register to vote.
The BET truck will hit over 20 cities, visiting Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU’s), malls, parks, concerts in each area. People are invited to come inside of the 18-foot step van set up as a mobile lounge and register to vote onsite at designated iPad station or show proof of registration and receive free giveaways from t-shirts to hot vinyl products, while supplies last.
In addition, artists and other personalities are slated to pop-up at the BET Truck at various locations to meet and greet with fans.
See the truck on the road? Tweet, Instagram and post #VoiceYourVoteBET and #HipHopAwards to show your support. Keep up with the BET truck locations by following @HipHopAwards across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Tune in to BET on October 4th at 8pm ET for the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards.
