Video Submission
Make Sure You Have Read:
- Official Rules
- Judging Rubric
Video Prompt:

Tell us about your participation in a JA program and how that participation has changed your behavior or mindset. Include the following:
1. Describe your experience in a JA program, including the name of the program and, if applicable, how a volunteer played a role.
2. What was the most memorable part and why?
3. How have you already and/or how will you apply what you learned in a JA program to your life moving forward, especially as it relates to financial literacy, work readiness, and/or entrepreneurship?
Assume the judges know nothing about JA programs. Please include concrete examples of changed behavior or mindset where possible, address all components, and keep the finished video response between 1-3 minutes.

Students, Keep these Guidelines in Mind:
- Ask a teacher or other adult to assist in planning and review.
- Take time to reflect before recording. Write an outline or even a full script and practice. Edit.
- Be authentic. Demonstrate genuine impact through stories. Include details to support big ideas.
- Speak to impress.
  - Imagine you are speaking to a local business owner who knows nothing about JA.
  - Avoid using profanity or excessive slang. You want to demonstrate that you can speak to an adult audience.
- Where possible, record your video inside with a still, quiet background. Avoid having a light/window behind you, and turn fans off to avoid a strobe effect.
- Watch the winning videos from last year (note the prompt and time limit was slightly different), read the rubric, and follow these tips. After you record, judge your video using the rubric to make sure it includes everything requested.
Please upload your video here (max 1GB). Your video file should be titled "First Name_Last Name" and match the name on this application.*
