AIS Sponsors Worldwide Video Creation Competition

We are happy to announce that AIS is sponsoring a video competition for students with cash prizes. The 2-5 minute videos should promote the study of information systems, stating why IT/IS is cool and why college students should consider majoring in the field.

First prize is $1,000; second prize is $500; third prize is $250 and there are four honorable mentions of $50 each. We will be able to use clips (with end credits) from the submissions in an AIS-sponsored YouTube video or other promotional materials.

Please see our complete call with rules, instructions, and entry form at http://galletta.business.pitt.edu/IMIT/

Students are encouraged to cite employment and other statistics that help make a good case. We have some materials posted at our enrollments wiki (http://enrollments.aisnet.org) that can serve as background information.

Sincerely,
AIS Committee, in alphabetical order:

Dennis Galletta, AIS President, University of Pittsburgh
Beena George, University of St. Thomas
Rudy Hirschheim, Louisiana State University
Blake Ives, University of Houston
Michael Parks, University of Houston
Rick Watson, University of Georgia
