PHOENIX – With today's college students known as the "iGeneration," Arizona Milk Producers have added a new component to their scholarship contest – online videos.
The Arizona Milk Producers Scholarship Contest, which has been in existence for more than 50 years, is now having applicants create and share a :30 or less "Reel" Milk Moment video that features at least one dairy product. Students can submit their video at http://azmilk.co/contest or go to Instagram and include #ampscholarshipcontest.
Arizona residents who are or will be enrolled in a local post-secondary school (university, college or community college) can enter and could win one of three scholarships:
~ The first-place winner will receive a $12,000 scholarship
~ the second-place winner will receive $10,000
~ the third-place winner will receive $8,000
"We think moving from photo submissions to videos will really spark interest and creativity in this year's contest. We also don't require an extensive application process as the goal is for this to be fun and turnkey for students!" said Tammy Baker, General Manager for Arizona Milk Producers.
There are two ways to enter the contest:
~ Website: upload a :30 or less video that features a dairy product, such as milk, yogurt or cheese, and fill out a short entry form.
~ Instagram: upload video, tag @azmilkproducers and include the hashtag #ampscholarshipcontest. Only enter via the web OR Instagram, not both.
It is recommended that applicants be creative with the videos, showing how dairy plays a role in day-to-day lives.
Starting Sept. 10, each week through Nov. 21, one weekly finalist will be selected based on the creativity of their video and will receive a $50 grocery gift card, plus a pair of tickets to the FIESTA BOWL game including parking pass and pre-game party on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2019. At the Fiesta Bowl game, the top three scholarship winners will be announced.
Scholarship nominees must be Arizona residents eligible for the 2019 term or currently enrolled with a minimum of 12 credit hours at an Arizona university. Official rules, details and drawing dates are posted on the website at http://azmilk.co/contest.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Other people should not be in the video. Open to legal residents of Arizona 17 years of age or older who are (or will be) enrolled in a post-secondary school in Arizona for the 2019 fall term (at least 12 credit hours). The contest ends at 11:59:59 p.m. on 11/11/18. Sponsored by Arizona Milk Producers.
