Pennsylvania FBLA Educational Video Production Contest
Why Join FBLA?
(target audience: potential High School & Middle School FBLA members)
Digital video has become a very effective way of conveying new ideas and capturing attention of potential customers. This contest has been created to encourage members to develop an EDUCATIONAL video for Pennsylvania FBLA.
Eligibility
Any Pennsylvania FBLA member or a team up to three Pennsylvania FBLA members from any active local high school or middle school FBLA chapter may participate in this event. Participating in this event DOES NOT prevent a member from competing in the regional, state, or national competitive events program.
Video Topic
Members or students will create no more than a three-minute educational video to promote why someone should join FBLA.
Copyright/Fair Use
Members or teams must comply with state and federal copyright laws.
Guidelines
1. Presentations must address the topic, Why Join FBLA? and the target audience is potential FBLA members (at the Middle and High School levels). The video must be appropriate to show in a school setting.
2. Student members must prepare the video, not advisers.
3. Presentations may not be any longer than three (3) minutes in length.
4. Participants will upload the video to YouTube and list it as “unlisted” (not private).
5. Participants must complete an online Event Entry Form to participate in this event. Form will be posted on the PA FBLA website.
6. The Event Entry Form deadline will be November 20, 2022, at 11:59 pm. All video production must cease at this time.
7. Participants must secure signed consent forms from the actors, and those forms must be uploaded at the time the Event Entry Form is completed. PA FBLA does not have a standard consent form; chapters should use their school’s consent form.
8. The video must include the name of the school and the names of the individuals who created the video, and it must appear in the credits section. The credits section is not part of the three (3) minute video time, but it may be no longer than 15 seconds following the end of the video.
9. Once the video is submitted, the creators acknowledge that Pennsylvania FBLA retains the rights to the video and may use it in any way that it chooses.
10. Penalty points will be enforced for videos that violate these guidelines.
11. Middle school FBLA chapters are also permitted to participate in the Video Contest.
Evaluation
Evaluation and selection of the video finalists may include the following criteria: vote from Executive Committee members (state officers & their advisers); and vote from registered users on the Pennsylvania FBLA Facebook page, and Instagram page.
Awards
The top three individuals/teams will automatically qualify to attend the State Leadership Conference in Hershey in April 2023. Videos will be played on the main screens as a part of the Opening Session of the SLC.
