Great new contest with a chance to win prizes for your club

Time to dust off your cameras and show us your directing skills. Coming this Spring, NCTTA will be launching the first edition of our YouTube Video Contest.

Here's how it works: take fun, entertaining, quality footage from your club or regional NCTTA events. Do some editing, add some music or sound effects, get creative! Then, post your short movie on YouTube for the world to see. An NCTTA-designated panel will review each video submitted. The winning movie(s) will be featured on the NCTTA website and recognized at the 2009 National Championships. And of course there will be some great prizes for the clubs submitting winning videos. More details to be announced soon, stay tuned to the NCTTA website and next month's newsletter…
