Please keep these tips in mind when creating and submitting your video:

1. Video should be between 3-5 minutes long and no larger than 4GB.
2. Do not read from a script – rather, write a few key points on a piece of paper in front of you and talk naturally around those.
3. Before recording your video, do a quick test recording for 15 seconds and review it, just to check your video and audio levels are ok.
4. Choose a venue where there is little to no background noise. If noise is an issue, consider using a lapel mic rather than using an on-board microphone in your camera or webcam.
5. We will accept HD video recorded with a mobile device, but please keep the following in mind:
   • If using a mobile device to record the video, hold the phone or tablet horizontally (not vertically) to ensure proper playback on all video players.
   • When transferring your footage from your phone to your computer please be sure to use the device cable.
   • Emailing/messaging the video as an attachment will result in loss of quality. Please keep in mind that on most phones the user-facing camera has a much lower resolution than the camera facing away from the user. We recommend you to only use the camera with the highest resolution.
