CAST YOUR VOTE for the contest winner!

Millions of students and families facing skyrocketing tuition costs in a sour economy can tell policymakers how to fix the problem. The National Education Association (NEA) and top news blog The Huffington Post are sponsoring a first-ever, “Got Tuition?” national video contest to provide a high-visibility platform to push for solutions to tuition costs.

The producer of the winning two-minute video will receive the opportunity to blog on the front page of Huffington Post about college affordability and $5,000 in prize money. 

Videos will be judged by a panel including Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington and other Huffington Post contributors, who will select  finalists on which the public can vote.

Contestants must send their videos by email and be sure to include their name, address, daytime phone number and email address. Videos must be no longer than two minutes and should tell the contestant’s story about tuition costs, resulting student debt and what policymakers should do to solve the problem. Judges will be looking for creativity, how well the message is conveyed and relevance to the theme of college affordability.
