Drop Out No Win Video Contest
Can you make a funny, less-than-a-minute video about playing a game you can’t possibly win? If so, then we’d like to see it.
Lakewood’s Promise and the Lakewood Computer Clubhouse are partnering to create a new, unique website – DropOutNoWin.com. The prevailing theme of the website is “Dropping out of school is like playing a game you can’t win” Thanks to a grant from Intel, Washington, the Clubhouse kids will be working on the site all summer.
On the website there will be tips and tricks for staying in school, un-winnable video games, and the funny videos that you have helped create. This is all to help promote an atmosphere in Lakewood where most youth will graduate on time.
Contest Rules
- The concept and production of the video must be done by a person, 18 yrs or younger.
- The video must be less than a minute.
- The video must be family friendly
- The video must be public, posted on YouTube and able to be linked to the DropOutNoWin site (not password protected).
- The video can use any media such as live action, stop-motion and animation.
- The video has to include the slogan – “Dropping out of school is like playing a game you can’t win”.
Exceptional videos will be shown to City Council and showcased at other venues. Winning video teams will be invited to a special celebration and awards ceremony in October.
