$5000 prize in student video contest

Peterson’s, a leading education planning company, recently announced this video scholarship competition to stimulate college- and graduate school-bound students around the country to create a 30-second video clip that explains what makes them unique.

Students who have a fresh, original and convincing approach to persuade the world that they are special, start scripting your video now and post it on YouTube®. Video contest entries can be no more than 30 seconds long. Compete for the $5,000 scholarship award grand prize that you can use to pay tuition at the school of your choice or compete for one of ten $100 gift certificates.

The winning videos will be determined by the number of times the video is viewed on YouTube® from the time of its posting until the end of the viewing period on August 31, 2008 at 11:59:59 p.m. (EDST).

The rules are easy: You must be at least 16 years of age and a legal resident of the United States. Videos will be accepted until July 31, 2008. No purchase is necessary, and a purchase will not increase your chances of winning.

For complete rules and instructions for uploading your video entry, visit www.petersons.com/scholarshipcontest.

And speaking of online videos, we recently saw a video on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9BeEBjJH0A that addresses the problem that many Chow Chow owners face, how to obedience train their Chow. The video promotes the Chow training video website, chowvideo.com. The DVD was endorsed by a leading expert on the breed.
