'Lights, Camera, Save' Video Contest: Calling Northern Virginia Students

ALEXANDRIA, VA — OK all you aspiring filmmakers out there in Northern Virginia schools. Here's a chance to promote your cinematic vision, as it were. It's the American Bankers Association's "Lights, Camera, Save!" video competition.

For those interested, students ages 13-18 need to create a 90-seconds-or-fewer video about "the value of saving money and (inspiring) their peers to become lifelong savers," and submit it by Dec. 1. (For more local news, click here to sign up for real-time news alerts. Also, like us on Facebook, and if you have an iPhone, click here to get the free Patch iPhone app.)

Burke & Herbert Bank will complete the first round of judging and pick a winner to compete nationally for a top prize of $5,000 and a scholarship for a teacher at the school to attend the annual Jump$tart National Educator Conference.

Videos will be judged on their quality, message, content and the criteria set forth by the contest's rules. Click here for more information about the program. Click here for entry forms, among other things. Here's a video about the contest with examples:
