Subject: [NABS-L] TELL YOUR STORY and WIN: the Student Access Moment (SAM)
Competition

Fellow Blind Students and Recent Graduates:

There is still time for you to participate in the Student Access Moments
(SAM) Competition!

Before March 1, 2021, we invite you to submit a 60-second video clip telling
a personal accessibility story about instructional materials in higher
education.

Tell a story-good or bad-about an experience you had with accessible or
inaccessible instructional materials in higher education. Everyone has a
story, but most of us do not realize that our story can teach others about
the issue. 

If you are not in college yet, tell us about your fears about inaccessible
instructional materials in higher education based on what you've heard from
all the college students ahead of you.

If possible, make it so that your video background is a famous place on your
college campus that alumni will recognize. Do this by either going there in
person to record your video outside like a news reporter or by using a Zoom
virtual background with an image of that part of your campus.

Submit your video by posting it on Facebook and/or Twitter, using the
hashtag #StudentAccessMoments so that all of our networks can find your
video!

When you post your video, try nominating three other blind students or
recent graduates to tell their stories. 

Here are some guidelines for the competition:

     *   Videos must be no longer than 60 seconds.
     *   Submissions are due by March 1, 2021.
     *   Video submissions may be used in video promotions to educate the
public about the accessibility barriers faced by blind students in higher
education.
     *   The best videos will be in landscape mode, clean, professional,
articulate, and carry a tone that supports a belief in the right of blind
students to equal access in higher education.
     *   We expect to have many great submissions, so, if yours is not
chosen by the judges, please understand that it may still have been very
good and may still be included in future public education efforts.

The top 3 winners will receive gift card prizes! Thank you, everyone, for
your authenticity!

If you have any questions, please reach out!

We can do this.

Aloha,

Justin
