A new Scholarship Idol? You decide!

12 February 2009 460 views 83 Comments

Hey guys,

So what would you say if we were proposing a new video contest?  I thought Scholarship Idol was a hit last year.  For those of you unaware of this hilarious video series, you can watch some of last years entrants here.

The rules were, you submitted a 60 second or less video of you doing something creative about ScholarshipPoints.  Some Points members sang songs, some performed interpretive dances and some made Flash animations.There was a submission period for several weeks, and the videos with the most views on YouTube at the end of that period made it to the top 10.  Submitting a video got you 125 points.  Getting into the top 10 automatically got you a cool Flip Cam personal video recorder.

Those top 10 videos were then voted on by you points members (for 25 points).

Take a look at last year’s winning video by Adrian here! Think you can beat it?

We wanna do it again, that’s for sure, but we want to make the ’09 version bigger and better than ever.  We have a couple different ideas, so take this short (really short, like 3 questions short) survey for points, and we’ll use your results to determine this year’s contest!

-Captain J

Code is in the survey here

P.S. – Since the first 3 Universum $1,000 Scholarship winners haven’t responded, we’ve selected NEW WINNERS!  See if your name is in the bunch on the winners page.
