How We Pick the Winner

1. DCC MESSAGE and ADHERENCE TO CONTEST RULES (25%)

2. CREATIVITY & QUALITY (25%)

3. POPULARITY (50%): Entries submitted via YouTube.com should be forwarded to friends to accumulate “views” thus increasing the video’s popularity online. The number of “views” the entry receives will be very significant in the judging process. Use whatever means necessary to get as many people on as many campuses as possible to watch your video.
