2011 Teen Video Challenge
“You Are Here” Teen Video Contest
CSLP has launched the “You Are Here” Teen Video Challenge 2011, a national competition for teens to get involved with reading and their public library's summer reading program.
Teens across the country are invited to create a 30 to 90 second video using the 2011 teen slogan “You are Here” in combination with reading and libraries. The idea is to involve teens in summer reading, before and during the summer months, by being part of the process and have a chance to be creative and have their ideas heard.
Each teen winner will receive a monetary award, as will the associated public library. Winners will be announced by CSLP in spring 2011.
Eligibility:
The “You Are Here” Teen Video Challenge for South Dakota is open only to legal U.S. residents who are residents of the state of South Dakota aged 13-18. Participants are ineligible if directly related to any member of the panel of judges for the contest. By participating, entrants agree to be bound by these Contest Rules.
Individuals or groups may submit entries. Each participant or group may submit one video per entry. All members of the group must meet the age requirements stated above. Each entry must include signed model release form(s). All submissions must be received by March 1, 2011. Late entries will not be accepted. A DVD of the video will be requested from all winners.
