Theme: “Why I Love My Credit Union”

Calling all creative geniuses, video aficionados and credit union-loving students. Now is your chance to express your hidden (or not so hidden) creative talent and make some dough towards your college education.

Can life get better? We submit that it cannot! But if YOU submit a 2 minute or less video about why you love your credit union you could win big bucks to help pay for school.

Face it-

• You want your 15 minutes of fame.
• You want to show all your friends the mad skills you’ve developed (or plan on developing) with your video camera.
• You want money to help you get through college.

(Here’s where we come in)

We want creative attention grabbing videos that spread the word about what’s great about TVFCU. So unleash that creative energy and get started!

Here are a few topics to get you started. Feel free to use these or come up with your own.

• What was your first experience with TVFCU?
• Why do you like your Student’s Choice Checking?
• Why did you choose us?
• What is one way TVFCU has helped you?

Here’s how it works-

• Brainstorm the most creative, interesting and captivating way to tell what it is that you like best about TVFCU.
• Grab your pets, your friends, your friend’s pets or whatever to add your personal style to the video.
• Film 2 minutes or less of TVFCU-loving genius.
• Register and upload your video (videos must be in AVI, MOV or MPEG format at a minimum 320×240 resolution) at www.tvfcu.com/scholarship/video_register.php by April 2nd, 2010 (make sure you are a member by the time you upload –you can join with a minimum $5 deposit)

There will be 2 scholarships awarded. The $2,000 grand prize will be awarded by a panel of non TVFCU judges who will be looking for creativity, originality and unique and interesting ways to convey your message.

The second $500 scholarship is based solely on people’s choice. So…

Spread the word! Send your video which will be posted at www.tvfcu.com/scholarship to your friends, family, neighbors, sister’s ex-boyfriend’s dentist, (ok you get the idea) and have them vote for your video. Plus, Facebook, Myspace, blog, text or whatever it is you do to get the word out—do it! Only votes submitted here will count.

Winners will be announced at the Annual Meeting, April 27th to be held at The Chattanooga Zoo at 6 pm as well as posted here.

Good luck and may the creative juices flow!
