Desire2Learn Incorporated is starting the summer off right with a Facebook video contest that awards the winner a $2,000 education grant!  Isn’t that fabulous!? The edtech company is providing K-12 students and their families with the opportunity to win education money by simply by uploading a 30 to 60-second home video to YouTube and posting it to the Desire2Learn Facebook page. The videos of the students must describe their greatest lessons, achievements or accomplishments from the previous school year, just like this one that you can check out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWHv4kgfH0k

The three-step process for a simple submission:

•         1. Create a 30 to 60-second video of your child where they talk about what they learned this past school year and then upload it to YouTube;
•         2. Go the Desire2Learn Facebook page and “Like” it;
•         3. Submit your video, share it with your friends and family, and ask them to VOTE For Your Child!!

Hurry, you only have until July 8th to submit your videos!  If you submit your video come back here and share the link with us so we can help vote for your child.

Good luck!!

Contest judges will be selecting the top videos every week which will be posted to the company Facebook page. Nominees are given easy tools to “share” their videos with their friends and family to help increase their vote totals and check their progress in the standings. Videos can be submitted to Desire2Learn’s Facebook page until July 8, 2013 then friends and family can vote on the videos they like until July 22, 2013. The contest winner will be announced via press release on July 29, 2013. This post was brought to you by Desire2Learn.
