Video Contest for College Students - Student Video Scholarship (Visit this link)

College students are invited to interpret the Christopher belief that “ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE” in a short film of five minutes or less. Entries can express this theme in any genre or shooting format, but must be submitted on standard, full-sized NTSC-format VHS tape or as Region 1 or regionless DVDs. Entries over five minutes long will not be considered.
THE PRIZES:
Winning entries will be aired on a special edition of the internationally-syndicated television series Christopher Closeup.
In addition, winners will receive the following cash awards:
First Prize — $3,000 Second Prize — $2,000 Third Prize — $1,000
5 Honorable Mention Prizes of $100 each
Entrants must be currently enrolled in and attending a graduate or undergraduate program at a college or university. Entries will be judged on overall impact, effectiveness of conveying theme, artistic merit and technical proficiency. A Blue Ribbon Jury comprised of representatives from the media, academia and The Christophers’ Board of Directors will make the final selection of winners. Judges’ decisions are final.
ABOUT THE CHRISTOPHERS:
A nonprofit organization founded in 1945, The Christophers uses the media to spread two basic ideas: There’s nobody like you, and you can make a difference. This message, based on the concept of service to God and all humanity, is addressed to people of all faiths and of no particular faith. The Christopher motto is:
“It’s better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
