“My G.R.E.A.T. Experience” Video Contest

As someone involved with G.R.E.A.T., you work with students from a variety of backgrounds who have different stories, experiences, and skills. Many of you could give examples of the technologically and artistically talented students at your school(s). Most likely, these students are the same ones who enjoy posting things on Web sites such as YouTube or Google Video.

To encourage this talent, G.R.E.A.T. is sponsoring a video contest. The contest is titled “My G.R.E.A.T. Experience.” It is geared toward G.R.E.A.T. elementary and middle school students with a special or creative story to demonstrate how the G.R.E.A.T. Program has impacted the student’s life.

The national winner and up to three (3) guests will be flown to the 2008 G.R.E.A.T. National Training Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. The student will be given the opportunity to speak and present the video to approximately 400 G.R.E.A.T. officers, school personnel, and other attendees.

Video submissions must be postmarked no later than May 15, 2008. G.R.E.A.T. officers, please remind your students of this deadline.
