KOKOMO, Ind. — Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region’s first ever YouTube YouWin Contest will begin Monday, Dec. 8 and will run through March 25, 2009.  The contest is a competition in which students, both current and prospective, and alumni will post a short video about Ivy Tech Community College on YouTube®. Each participant’s video will answer the question, “What is Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana to you?”

The competition will include two separate categories of contestants: 1.) current and prospective students, and 2.) alumni. Current and prospective students can win the first place prize of a $1,500 tuition grant to an Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region campus (Kokomo, Logansport, Peru and Wabash). Second place will receive a $750 tuition grant. Alumni can win gas cards and Ivy Tech apparel.

Each participant’s goal is to accumulate the most number of YouTube® views of their video. Finalists for first- and second-place prizes will be selected based on a formula that accounts for both total number of views and the average number of views. Winners will be selected on how well they answered the question, presentation and creativity. A third prize, Best of the Rest, will be awarded in both categories and will be a judges’ choice award.

To enter the contest, you must submit an application.
