The following is a letter from Alpharma Animal Health
Thanks to those of you who submitted clips during Phase I of the Alpharma Student Video Contest. A total of 146 clips were submitted and are now available to download for the remainder of the contest. Phase I of the Student Video Contest is now closed, and it’s time to move on to Phase II, which opened Monday, October 19th.
With the kickoff of Phase II you’ll be able to view and download the clips that were submitted throughout the first phase of the contest by going to the contest Web site. You can use any number of video clips from the first phase of the contest and/or your own media to make the most creative and educational video possible for your chance to win $5,000.
There are a few things to keep in mind while making your final video:
You can submit a final video even if you did not participate by submitting clips during Phase I of the contest. All final videos should be submitted by 11:50 p.m. CST on November 23rd.
Your goal is to tell the story of current agriculture issues and the role of modern agriculture in American society. The videos should be presented in terms that someone without an ag background can understand.
You can use any amount of clips from the contest site, plus any of your own footage and you may add sound, music, voice-overs and titles to bring your video to life and make it tell a story.
Stay within the guidelines outlined in the Contest Rules.
Remember that videos are judged on creativity and quality. We encourage you to contact the journalism and communication departments at your school for an additional perspective and media resources.
We recommend using Solveig Multimedia if you need Web-based editing and mixing software, or use your own editing software.
If a video includes people, please be sure to have those people sign the release form you can find by clicking here.
We look forward to reviewing the submitted videos, but please remember you only have until November 23rd to submit them. As always, feel free to contact Amanda Eberle at aeberle@charlestonorwig.com or 262-563-5100 with questions.
Thank you,
Alpharma Animal Health
