SUMMER 2024: COLLEGE SHOWCASE VIDEO

As a Pact Scholar, your camera roll holds the key to a $200 prize.

Showcase your college experience with a short video:

As a member of the Phoenix Pact Family, we want to hear from you– and now you’ve got even more reason to share your college experience!

Submit a short video before midnight on July 24, 2024, showing the "best of" your campus and college experience. Use moving video and/or still photos to create a show-and-tell of your favorite places, insights, and things that incoming Pact Scholars should see and know about your campus. 

All videos *must: 

  1. Show recognizable locations from the college you are attending or did attend 2023-2024. 

  2. Include at least one recognizable image/video clip of yourself

  3. Include audio narration or captions that effectively describe what's being shown. 

  4. Meet Instagram community guidelines (we’ll be posting the entries there!) and can’t contain unlicensed music (more on that below).

  5. Have a run time between 30 seconds and 2 minutes

  6. Be received no later than July 24th, shared via email (a link is ok). Be sure to include your full name, the year you graduated NLCP, what you are or did study at your college, and how we can get your entry award to you (Venmo, PayPal, etc)!

Every eligible entry will receive $10 as a thank you, and will be considered to win “best in show” prizes:

If 10 or more individual entries are received, three top prizes will be awarded: $200, $100, and $50!

Important: if 9 or fewer entries are received by July 24th, ONE prize of $150 will be awarded to an outstanding entry.
