Win $1,500 for your Credit Union!

Back by popular demand, CU*Answers is happy to announce the 3rdAnnual Video Contest!

For the past two years CU*Answers has sponsored contests to broadcast the credit union message in a unique and remarkable way. The results have created video productions suitable for any credit union to use in their lobby, on their website, or even through YouTube. Last years winning video titled “My Credit Union… Realized Dreams Start Here” was submitted by Christine Petroff from Glacier Hills Credit Union.

Christine’s winning idea was scripted and produced by Fulvew Productions, a professional production company, and premiered at our June Leadership Conference. And, as if watching her idea come to life on the big screen in a professionally produced video wasn’t enough, Glacier Hills Credit Union also received a check for $1,500.

The topic for this year’s video contest is: “Your Credit Union is Everywhere.”

Here are the rules:

  • This contest is open to any CU*Answers client credit union.
  • Submit your ideas via email to mhaehnel@cuanswers.com no later than February 15, 2010.
  • Ideas need only to include a concept. No need for a full script but it should contain enough detail for us to get the picture.
  • CU*Answers and Fulvew Productions will take creative license with your idea and develop a script.
  • The winning idea will be selected from a panel that may consist of CU*Answers staff, board members, and Fulvew Films.
  • The winner will be revealed and the completed video will premier at the Leadership Conference on June 23rd.
  • A check for $1,500 will be presented to the credit union whose idea was selected for the video.
  • The winner can choose how to use the $1,500 for their credit union (i.e. hold a staff event, make a donation, buy a flat screen for your lobby, or even sign up for a promotional call campaign from Xtension Call Center)

For some inspiration and to see the quality of work from Fulvew Productions, you can view last year’s winning video and CU*Answers’ collection of videos at CU*Answers OnDemand.

We can’t wait to see your ideas! You only have until February 15 to send them in.
