PARTICIPATE IN A VIDEO CONTEST!

Contributed by Rtn. Elizabeth Maloba

The Rotary eclub of South West USA together with Next Vista for Learning are sponsoring a Video Contest to celebrate the creativity, storytelling, and video talents of young people from around the world.

We asking you to inspire others by telling stories of service. Specifically, we want you to make one or more videos that can help students around the world better learn to help others. Additionally, videos that are three minutes or less will be included in a contest that could earn a charitable donation on behalf of the students who create the winning video.

Next Vista for Learning will collect the videos you submit and place those meeting quality standards in the online library of NextVista.org, a free, educational, digital media library. This is a chance not just to tell about service, but also to win something by doing so. The team at Next Vista for Learning will choose a set of finalists, and from among them, members Rotary will choose the winners, who will receive a plaque and a donation to the service effort highlighted in their video.

Does this sound interesting to you? If so, talk with your club members, kick your creativity into high gear, and get your digital juices flowing!

As this is in part a Rotary-sponsored project, we encourage Interact and Rotaract clubs to use the contest as a way to involve their local Rotary clubs in helping their efforts by asking them to provide additional support when members of your club submit a video to the project.
