NAFSA's 2009 Student Diplomat Video Contest

Have you studied abroad and want to tell people about it? NAFSA (the Association of International Educators; formerly the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers) is asking those students who have studied outside of the United States, or who are currently studying abroad, to submit videos of themselves discussing their experiences.

Videos should focus on how their experience has helped to advance global understanding. Participants are encouraged to consider how their study abroad experience has shaped them as a global citizen, served as a bridge to cross-cultural understanding, promoted peace, or positively impacted the local community in which they studied.

NAFSA asks that videos should be no longer than three minutes. The deadline for entries is 11:59 p.m. on November 6, 2009. The videos should be recorded, uploaded to YouTube, and then uploaded to the contest's group page at YouTube.

Here is a video promoting the contest:

The winner will receive $300 cash and the title "2009 Student Diplomat." Good luck!
