Big Bear Lake, CA, February 26, 2014 – The Lighthouse Project is sponsoring a Video Contest for grades six through 12 on the theme of “Kids Do Amazing Things.” Students are invited to make an inspirational video up to 30 seconds long, then do their best to make it go viral.
Contestants should upload their videos as Public to their YouTube accounts between March 1 and March 31, 2014, then email the link to BigBearLighthouse@gmail.com. The Lighthouse Project’s team will review each video, then post each video that meets the stated criteria.
The video in each age group with the most views wins–garnering a $100 prize for one middle school student and for one high school student. The usual social media promotions will come in handy, such as sharing your video link on Instagram and Facebook and asking friends and family to do the same.
