My name is Keith Roach, and I work at the IU Office of Creative Services. As you may know, IU is sponsoring a video contest as part of the Celebrate IU festivities next month. Students on all IU campuses are invited to submit one-minute videos about why they love IU to a contest page on YouTube. The deadline is Friday, October 17, at 5 p.m. EDT. A panel of student and faculty judges will select the top three videos. Prizes are $300 for first place, $200 for second, and $100 for third.
Not only does the contest give students a chance to add their voice to Celebrate IU, but it will create a great online resource for showing the world why IU is a great university.
If you know of students who might like to enter, or faculty or staff who would be willing to tell students about the contest, please forward the blurb below to them. Also feel free to send it to your student e-mail list, if you have one. Flyers (designed for printing on office computers) are available for download at: http://www.celebrate.iu.edu/downloads.php
Thanks for your help, and let me know if you have any questions.

Students: Show IU some love on YouTube!
In honor of the second annual Celebrate IU-an October salute to academics, arts, and athletics that includes a variety of events-undergraduate and graduate students at all IU campuses are invited to enter the Celebrate IU Video Contest. Make a video about why you love IU, upload it to YouTube, and you'll be eligible to win up to $300. Who knows? You may even become a YouTube celebrity.
Prizes: $300 for first place, $200 for second place, $100 for third place
Make sure that you:
* Show why you love IU, whether it's the people, sports, culture, campus, or something else
* Keep your video to 60 seconds or less
* Upload your video to the Celebrate IU 2008 YouTube group by 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, October 17
Videos will be judged more for their creativity and IU spirit than for their professional quality. A panel of students and faculty will select the top three videos, announcing the winners on October 22.
