Oh-Penn Manufacturers to Hold Student Video Contest
NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- Teams of high school students from the five-county region are invited to participate in a student video contest sponsored by the Oh-Penn Manufacturing Collaborative. The purpose of the video is for teams of students to prepare a three-to-five minute marketing video on a manufacturing in-demand occupation, highlighting the career, including job duties, education, skills and training and industry-recognized credentials needed for the position.
Videos done by teams of students from Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties in Ohio and Mercer and Lawrence counties in Pennsylvania will be posted to the Industry Needs You website and on the YouTube channel, according to Rebecca Moder of the West Central Job Partnership.
Completed videos are due by April 8 with online voting to take place from April 14 through 28.
Online voting is open to the public, and videos receiving the highest percentage of votes will be reviewed by the judging committee, who will review the videos for quality, substance, presentation and informative content. One team with the highest combined score from each of the five counties will be chosen as a first place winner, earning a prize valued at $1,000. One overall winner with the highest combined score from these five also will be chosen earning an additional prize valued at $1,000.
Winners will be announced May 5 via the Industry Needs You website and social media. Winning teams will be notified of an event at which they will be recognized and receive their prizes.
Registration is due no later than Jan. 27. For more information on the contest, or for registration information, visit this website.
