Help Choose the “Fan Favorite” for the STC Summit Video Contest

Prior to the 2012 Summit, STC announced a video contest to help promote next year’s conference. The theme of the contest is “Why I Love the STC Summit,” and attendees were invited to use footage from this year’s Summit to create a video.

Two prizes were announced: One for the Staff Favorite, the best video as chosen by STC staff; and one for the Fan Favorite, the best video as chosen by STC members. Both winners will receive a free registration to the 2013 Summit (5-8 May in Atlanta, GA).

Three members entered the contest: Ellis Pratt, Jamie Gillenwater, and Marcia Wood; their videos are below. Please view them, then fill out a quick (as in one-question!) survey to help choose the Fan Favorite for the contest! Choose your favorite based on the following criteria:

  • Creativity—Is the work original? Does it use a unique style to tell the story?
  • Production Values—Is the video well-edited? Does it present a compelling visual style?
  • Promotional Appeal—Can the video be used to promote STC and future Summits?
  • Impact—Does the video make a positive impression of the organization? Does it engage the viewer and keep their interest?

Voting for the Fan Favorite is open 9 July through 13 July 2012. Winners for Fan Favorite and Staff Favorite will be announced Friday, 20 July 2012. Click below to see the videos, then go vote today!
