2024-2025 School Video Promotion Contest
Do you know what your students LOVE to do? They love to tell people about their amazing schools!
Think of the students who step forward to provide a tour, support a newcomer, help open/close/clean/organize the school and would do anything to ensure the existence and good name of your school... They are PRIMED and READY for this contest in which students create and submit a VIDEO PROMOTION. With a small bit of guidance from you, they will be off and running with this great project!
They simply want to make sure the following KEY REQUIREMENTS exist in a VIDEO PROMOTING YOUR SCHOOL and let creativity fill in the rest: 3-5 minutes long Incorporate this year's theme to make your point:
"Work for a cause not for applause
Live life to express not to impress
Don't strive to make your presence noticed
Make your absence felt."
Grace Lichtenstein
Submitted for jurying by 3/21/25 (or earlier!) Double-dip and use the video for all sorts of fun (board of ed, enrollment, advertising, etc.)
