My Husky Story to award cash for best UW student-created video

Every UW student has a story — about how he got here, what she’s discovered, how they’ve learned to stand out, or fit in. The UW students who tell their stories the best can win $1,500, $1,000 or $500.

The My Husky Story video contest is seeking student-created videos that show how UW students spend their time outside of class. A panel of judges will award $1,500 to the first place winner and $1,000 to the runner-up. The student video with the most likes on Facebook will win $500.

Videos must be submitted by May 14. The semi-finalists will be posted by May 21. And the winners will be announced on May 28.

Winning and selected videos will appear on UW websites and UWTV to promote the UW student experience. The contest, sponsored by the UW Provost’s Office, is open to UW undergrads and grad students from all three campuses.
