FIRST is once again challenging our Community to help us #makeitloud! The #FIRSTParody competition was so awesome last year, we can't wait to see what you come up with this year! If you participated last year, we invite you to make a NEW video, and if you didn't join us last year – what are you waiting for?!
Overview: We’re celebrating what makes FIRST FIRST! Tell us what makes your experience in our programs so amazing! Ultimately, we want to see awesome, high-quality parody videos that embody the spirit of FIRST and our Progression of Programs . To see last year’s submissions, check out our playlist. If you haven’t seen it, make sure to watch last year’s winning parody video One Bot Can Change The World by Jordan Grant. He was even able to perform live at the 2016 FIRST Championship!
Eligibility: Any group or individual who is interested in helping #makeitloud- Participants, Mentors, Volunteers, Sponsors, Alumni, - anyone!
Expectations: Submissions must be between 0:30 and 3:30 in length.
We encourage you to caption your video so viewers can see the lyrics.
Use your best judgement to keep your video in line with FIRST Values! Submissions should capture the FIRST Mission as an organization, rather than focus on just one program or experience.
Deadline: Video submission must be uploaded to YouTube by Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 5pm (EST).
Submission Process: Add your video!
