Student Video Contest
Students show their IU love
In honor of the first annual “Celebrate IU Week”—a week filled with Homecoming events, great concerts, a cornhole tournament, and the inauguration of our new president—the university and Union Board challenged IU students to grab a video camera and show us why they love IU.
A panel of judges, including student representatives from the Union Board and staff members from Creative Services, selected a grand prize winner and one runner-up. The contest deadline was Friday, October 12.
In his “Celebrate IU” video, grand prize winner Zack Conyne-Rapin highlighted the traditions, community, and discoveries at IU as “just a few of the many reasons to love IU.”
He received two tickets to the Homecoming concert featuring Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and Amos Lee on October 19 at Assembly Hall and a tailgating package prepared by Indiana Memorial Union catering.
Megan Cotton and Heather Hontz received the runner-up prize: a package including IMU coupons to Starbucks, Sugar and Spice, Burger King, Kiva, and the Market, as well as two grand buffets in the Tudor Room, two advanced screenings at the IMU, and two tickets to Godspell the Musical.
In their video “Why do you love IU?” they asked students around campus what they loved about IU and even asked some to sing “Indiana, Our Indiana.”
