Video Submission Rules and Guidelines

Each video must be no larger than 1000MB in size and be in .avi, .mov, .mpeg, or .wmv format. Each video must be narrated in English and must not exceed 3-minutes in length. Limit one (1) unique video submission per State Winner. If a State Winner submits more than one video, or the submitted video exceeds 3-minutes in length, 10% of the Judges score will be subtracted from the State Winner’s score. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any video submission if not compliant with these Official Rules or any other guidelines provided by Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Any student depicted in a video must have submitted a Parent Permission Form (enclosed in the State Winners kit), by the deadline specified above. In the event a student who has not submitted a Parent Permission Form is depicted in a video, the video in question will be disqualified. All video submissions become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned. Except as otherwise provided herein, Sponsor will not enter into any correspondence with a State Winner regarding any video submission.
