 We will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary next year, and we need your help.
We're happy to announce a video contest that is open to students at all of our participating Students In Action schools across the country. We'd like you to put together a short video that helps to tell the story of those first 40 years and what the next 40 might look like.
The winning video will be shown as part of the Jefferson Awards National Ceremonies in Washington D.C. next June, and representatives from the winning school (up to 2 students and 1 adult) will be joining us for an all-expenses paid trip to the 3rd National Youth Service Summit in Cincinnati, OH in April 2012, where the video will be premiered.
See the attachment below for more details... LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
