Your video may earn a prize

October 27, 2009

Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the University of Florida are encouraged to record their personal Gator story. The video stories are a grassroots initiative that allows participants to connect their personal story with the national branding campaign, “When Did You Become a Gator?”

Videos are featured on YouTube and InsideTheGatorNation.com. Participants may upload their story directly to the site, InsideTheGatorNation.com, or watch for the mobile video booth for assistance with the filming process.

The contest will begin Nov. 1. On Nov. 23, five finalists will be chosen on the merits of originality, story content and representation of The Gator Nation. All finalists will receive prizes.

The grand-prize winner will be determined by public e-mail votes for the five finalists videos. The winner will be announced on Nov. 30. For more details, visit InsideTheGatorNation.com.
