  3. Name the file(s) with the team members' names;
  4. Submit BOTH your video file(s) and copyright agreement below by the 11:59 pm on Nov. 15.

*NOTE: The award is $250/video, not for each student involved in production.

Entrance Requirements:

  • These videos will be shared with both future and current student audiences, so make sure that the content is age and context appropriate. For example: do not use foul language, copyrighted material, or inappropriate images; 
  • The video must be captioned in English; 
  • If your video is selected, you agree to allow Ohio State to brand the video and post it on official social media and university websites now and in the future.


Hints for success

  • Have a look at the videos on this website to get ideas
  • Do not focus on any one language; the video is about the value of language learning in general. 


Selection and announcement of winners

The videos will be selected by a team of faculty and staff from the College and the CLLC. Winners will be announced on November 30, 2021.
