The Nebraska 90 Video Contest

Creative Insights Time!

The Nebraska 90 Video Contest - Create a 90-second video that explains a conceptWant 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?

Enter the Nebraska 90 Video Contest! Why Nebraska? Because the finalists will be shown at a session at the Nebraska Educational Technology Association's annual conference, and the audience will choose the winner.

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.

Deadline

Each video, the student entry form, and the teacher entry form must all be submitted by 11:59p on Monday, April 18, 2011. There is a small bonus in scoring for those videos submitted by 11:59p on Thursday, April 7, 2011.

Sample Videos

This contest is similar to the recent Fall CUE-Next Vista for Learning 60-Second Video contest, so you might gain some inspiration by watching videos that were submitted for that contest. Understand that not all videos submitted were eligible to be finalists (see the hints page for help on this).

The Prizes

The ownership of any video submitted to NextVista.org is retained by the student who submits it. This person gives Next Vista for Learning and NETA 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.
