Every video must use a speech bubble, either ours available on the props page, or one you make yourself. Write or draw a word or image that symbolizes you, your money mistake or what you learned. See our rules page for more details.
Tips
When You’re Trying to Get Votes:
- Post your video on Facebook, MySpace, wherever you “do” what you “do”
- Blog about your entry
- Write on your forums to get your Internet community to vote for you
- Text your friends and tell them to text their friends
- Bring your class free candy (and tell them to vote!)
- Email your parents at work (believe us, they really want you to win a scholarship!, and they’ll email their coworkers, their friends, your grandma… remember that embarrassing Christmas family photo they emailed to the entire known continent… unleash that parent-pride power!)
- Use our voting toolkit, available once voting begins on Thursday, April 15th.
When You’re Making Your Video:
- Use your personal story to make your point
- Use your style of personality to get it across
- Use a friend!
- Use some props (yours or ours)
- Try interesting locations
- Add music
- Be yourself (but beyond a talking head!)
