Here's a chance to show the world what you love about MIT—via online video!
All things silly and serious are welcome. Capture the excitement of competing in the 2.007 design contest... depict your experience working on a housing redevelopment plan for New Orleans... maybe showcase the nacho cheese fountain you and your dorm-mates built.
Or, go for the special category prize by shooting a video that expresses how the financial support of Institute alumni has impacted you (and your friends). Every student benefits from alumni support in one way or another. Now is your chance to show alumni how much you appreciate and depend upon their continuing support of something you care deeply about. The most heartfelt message wins the prize, but everyone wins when the MIT Alumni Fund shares all “alumni impact” submissions with alumni later this spring! Get more details and ideas for how to say thanks here.
Shoot it and show it!
Enter a short video and compete to win the big prize donated by MIT TechTV and the MIT Alumni Fund. Your submission doesn't have to be polished—think YouTube—it just has to be interesting.
Even if you don't win big, you'll still be submitting a video for your friend, families, MIT alumni and the whole world to enjoy on MIT TechTV.
Go it alone to show what makes your passion tick, or team up with your friends. Enter a video of 5 minutes or less that's fun, inspiring, or informative—whether it's something you've already completed that meets the guidelines or something you produce especially for the contest. You can use a video camera, a digital camera, even your cell phone! And you can enter more than one video, so try all your ideas!
