Those with a knack for filmmaking and a love for living on campus have a chance to showcase both through the University Housing YouTube Video Contest. To enter, students simply make a video ranging from 30 seconds to two minutes, telling why they love living on campus. 

The guidelines instruct entrants to make sure they highlight all of the free benefits campus has to offer such as cable and Wi-Fi. 

These videos are intended to draw new students to stay on campus, and will be featured on Oakland’s Housing website. 

The first place winner will receive a $500 Barnes and Noble gift card, the second place winner will receive a $250 Barnes and Noble gift card, and the third place winner will receive a $100 Barnes and Noble gift card. The videos will be judged on creativity and promotion of campus activities. Deadline to enter is Wednesday, March 31. 

YouTube videos should be tagged as “On-Campus Housing.” 

Students can submit their videos through You Tube by clicking “Share” and addressing the message to oaklanduniv, or video links can be sent through Twitter @OUhOUsing.
