HELP! - WGU Scholarship Video Contest

http://www.wgu.edu/contest - Please rate this video, it will count as a vote towards the scholarship!

Do you or someone you know deserve a scholarship to Western Governors University?

Earning a college degree can be a life changing experience. In many cases, a little help financially can go a long way towards achieving this goal. Do you or someone you know deserve a scholarship to WGU? Whether you make us laugh, or make us cry, tell us how a degree from WGU could improve your life or the life of someone you know.

Western Governors University (http://www.wgu.edu) continues to offer opportunities for adult learners to have access to quality, affordable education, as the only fully-accredited, online university that is competency-based. As part of that effort, WGU is hosting a unique video contest with a valuable scholarship as its prize. Contestants are asked to submit a video explaining why they deserve to earn a scholarship and how earning a degree from WGU will change their life or the life of someone they know.

The window for video submissions is open from June 11, 2008 to August 11, 2008. All genres of videos—including humor and drama—are encouraged. A WGU panel will review all of the video submissions after the August 11, 2008, deadline and select five finalists based on the following criteria: quality of video (45 percent), amount of votes (40 percent) and the amount of views the video received (15 percent). Those five videos will be posted on the contest site on August 25, 2008, for the public to vote on the most deserving video for the top prize. The winner will be announced on September 3, 2008. Public voting will take place during the contest period and the voting period so entrants are encouraged to share their video with family and friends.

The winning video contestant will receive a $7,500 scholarship and a $500 cash reward, paying $1,500 per six-month term for up to five terms. The scholarship can be used for students pursuing a degree in any discipline offered by WGU in its Colleges of Business, Education, Information Technology and Health Professions. Other prizes include scholarships valued up to $3,000 and $100 Amazon.com gift certificates. (Amazon.com is not a sponsor of this contest.)

This video contest is open to the public. The scholarships are not transferable to other universities, but may be transferrable to incoming WGU students. Current WGU students and alumni who are considering a return to WGU for their master's degree are eligible to participate. The contest is subject to posted rules. For more information about submissions or to vote, please visit www.wgu.edu/contest.

I've been kind of disturbed by the fact that a porno video is coming up in the "related videos" section. I'm getting in touch with WGU (since they are the owner of the video) to see if they will get with YouTube about removing it.

I have to admit this song is officially stuck in my head! Great job on the video I can tell it took tons of work and probly alot of help from others. Good luck with the scholarship. You certainly deserve it!

oic. thanks alot for the information.

[bfpowerQQQ]

@voiceofexpression Yes, it's similar in purpose and style, though I'd bet the Sterling is better quality. I've had the MXL for close to 3 years now, and it's been a great starter mic. If I keep doing more recording, I'll eventually switch to a mid-range condenser like the ones made by Shure or Blue. But the 4000 is a massive improvement over a dynamic.

[voiceofexpression]

so is this mxl 4000 the same size like the sterling st77?

[StayBizzyEnt]

mxl 4000is a nice mic
