We were able to return to in-person events and our banquet Fall of 2021 had to have a special surprise for the audience. Although we have surprised our students with scholarships that change their financial situation with an unexpected "prompter read" or virtually, this time we had the creator of the actual scholarship surprise students in the end. Our donors in the video truly enjoyed the ability to do this for them, and be a part of the moment. Something that rarely happens.
From the Judges
A simple but high-impact concept done extremely well. Great production choices here—the speakers are natural and authentic, which can be hard to capture from donors and students, and it's great to see genuine conversation and student reactions. Distinguished itself as the only video focused on caring for animals and training students. Effective, unique, and a great use of video as a format.
