How Entries Will Be Judged
A cross-campus panel will score entries based on the following criteria (5 points each; 20 points total):
Heart & Authenticity
Your video has a genuine voice and feeling
Impact
Your video entry shows how MSB helped you to advance a dream or goal
Clarity
Your short video is easy to hear/understand; and has a concise message
Shareability
Your story is easy to understand when shared with others with no knowledge of MSB
Q&A
Who can enter?
All MSB students and staff.
How long should my video be?
1–2 minutes. Short and clear is great.
What should I say?
Share a specific dream or goal and how MSB helped you pursue or achieve it. Have fun with it! Show off your skill or accomplishment in the video.
Do I have to be on camera?
No, you do not have to be on screen. You can be off camera and tell your story. We suggest you film something while you are speaking and or/using a communication device to share your story.
Can a group submit together?
Yes. But prizes are awarded per video so winners will need to share.
Do I need a release/consent?
Yes, for public sharing (and a parent/guardian release for minors).
Accessibility support?
Yes—recording assistance, captioning, transcripts, and a quiet room to record in are available.
How will winners be notified?
By email after the judging period.
