Attention teens!  You can help win up to $3,000 for your library.  Here’s how: Make a video!
  • Gather your friends and put together an original 1-3 minute video about why you need your library.  Up to six people can work together to submit a video.
  • Pick your technique: Entries can be live-action, animation, machinima, or a combination of these.  Check out this list of tips and resources on making a video.
  • Read through the judging criteria to see how entries will be judged.
Upload your video to YouTube
  • Upload the video to YouTube between January 11, 2011 and midnight April 18, 2011.
  • Be sure to tag your video with alaneedmylibrary15 if your designated videographer is between the ages of 13-15 or alaneedmylibrary18 if your designated videographer is between the ages of 16-18.
Mail in your entry form
  • One more thing: Don’t forget to mail in an entry form. Videos are submitted online, but an entry form needs to be received in the mail by April 18 in order for a submission to be eligible. 
  • Read the complete guidelines for more information.
Prizes

From each age category (13-15 and 16-18):
  • Three 3rd place winners will receive $1,000 each for their selected libraries.
  • Two second place winners will receive $2,000 each for their selected libraries. 
  • One winner or group of winners will receive $3,000 for their selected library, plus $50 gift cards to an online bookseller for each individual member of the winning group (limit of 6 participants per group)
