• creativity and problem solving 
• resilience and endurance 

• collaboration and camaraderie 

Rules: 

• Contest is open to FSCJ students only. Only one entry per student will be accepted.

• The video cannot be less than 0:15 (15 seconds) nor longer than 1:00 (1 minute).

Judging: The judging committee comprised of FSCJ faculty and staff will watch and evaluate the submission based on overall feel and creativity. The submission that makes the strongest impression on the committee will be determined to be the winner. The video must remain posted for at least 1 year after the contest ends. The judging committee decisions are final. 

How to Submit: Students will record their videos in 16:9 and upload that video to Canvas Studio (Links to an external site.). Submissions from Vimeo, YouTube or any other video platform will not be accepted by the committee. Students will create a public URL (Links to an external site.) in Studio and then submit that URL/link on this form (Links to an external site.).
