Creative Compositions 2011 Video Contest

Creative Insights Time!

Music and creativityWant to win fabulous prizes? Want to help young people around the world gain new insights to what they learn in school? Want to help with the very honorable effort to end ignorance, one video at a time? NextVista.org and TETC want you!

How does it work? Put a little creativity into a video teaching any concept one might encounter in elementary, middle, or high school, and keep it to 90 seconds or less. It can be about covalent bonds, adding fractions, haiku poetry, the Magna Carta, the difference between por and para in Spanish, or anything else for which you have a clever insight. Read the full rules, but if you want some hints on how to improve your chances, click on the last word in this paragraph that's a link.

This is really two contests: one for students and one for teachers. These get judged separately, and we'll be passing out prizes to the finalists and winners of each.

Deadline

Each video and its entry form(s) must be submitted by 11:59p on Friday, November 11, 2011. There is a small bonus in scoring for those videos submitted by 11:59p on Friday, October 21, 2011.

Sample Videos, Encouragement, and Some Fine Print

Here are videos that made the finalist round from earlier contests: student finalists from the Nebraska 90 contest, and teacher finalists from the Made in the Cloud contest.

Get creative, craft your video carefully, and submit it - hopefully you'll not only help others learn something, but win a prize, too!

The ownership of any video submitted to NextVista.org is retained by the student who submits it. This person gives Next Vista for Learning the right to post the video and use it to promote the efforts of the organization. If one who creates and/or submits a video to NextVista.org wishes the video to be removed from the library, he or she should write Next Vista for Learning and explicitly ask that specific videos he or she has submitted be removed. Any request will be honored within four weeks.
