The Objective

Make one or more short videos between 2-4 minutes in length that display your favorite GMH stories.

Guidelines

* Choose whichever stories you'd like, and include as many as you'd like. You might consider selecting ones from the Top GMHs page.
* You don't need to include anything in the video other than the stories and a mention of givesmehope.com somewhere.
* Make sure each story is paced such that the viewer has time to read it. Try not to put all of the text from each story on the screen at the same time - break each story up into pieces to make it a better read.
* Try to choose appropriate music. All else being equal, popular is generally better - people feel connected to songs they know.
* Your video doesn't have to be fancy! These guidelines are not rules - creativity is encouraged!
* Deadline to enter is October 7! Winners will be voted on by GMH visitors.

Prizes

1st Place: $50 gift cards - $25 iTunes store and $25 Target

3rd Place: $10 Target gift card

We will post all videos submitted, so even if you don't win, you'll get views! And you'll make people happy, because who wouldn't love watching video GMHs? :) Upload your video to YouTube, then email us the link at givesmehope at gmail.com. Thank you, everybody! Good luck!
