Better Business Bureau Student Video Contest
From Jennifer McGlothen
The Better Business Bureau Student Video Contest is coming soon to the Kansas City metropolitan area! This is an interactive contest designed to engage your students and encourage the creation of high quality, usergenerated video content. We???re reaching out to see if your school would be interested in joining the contest!
How Does the BBB Student Video Contest Work?
Teams of individual students from select schools will create videos that represent the BBB???s chosen theme. Students will compete based on quality of video production, delivery of the theme and key messages, and promotion and marketing of the videos. Once the students submit the videos, initial entries will be judged on their ability to follow the contest guidelines. Then, students will be judged on their ability to market and increase votes on their video. BBB will score the top videos and select judges/professionals and a winner will be chosen.
The contest takes 4-6 weeks and is supervised by teachers. It???s a quick, turnkey curriculum that ensures teachers won???t have to spend excessive time apart from their already busy schedules to supervise students. The teachers are there to offer guidance, but are not required to move the curriculum forward.
This contest is a great way to give students who are interested in video production and advertising a chance to strengthen and improve their skills. The BBB Student Video Contest gives them real life experience in communication and marketing, while also being a great extracurricular feature on college applications. After the contest complete and judges have made a decision, prizes will go out to those who finish in the Top 4. The majority of winnings will go toward equipment donation to winning schools. The remainder will be cash prizes for contest winners. The prizes are as follows:
- First Place: $2,000 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice; $500 cash/gift cards to the winning video
- Second Place: $1,000 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice; $250 cash/gift cards to 2nd place video
- Third Place: $750 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice
- Fourth Place: $500 – Donation of equipment of school???s choice
