Hi State Presidents,

As mentioned on Sunday, we are excited by the submissions in this contest
but we want to hear from you and the members of your affiliate.

Please share this with your affiliate members and consider submitting your
own entry. This is going to be an exciting component of our 2020 convention
but it will be even more exciting when we share entries from your affiliate
members.

60 seconds could win you up to $200 as part of the Convention Memory Minute
Contest
For many, our very first convention becomes a life-changing experience.
During the May 2020 Presidential Release, President Mark Riccobono shared
memories from his first convention: dodging the persistent Buna Dahal who
wanted him to buy a candy bar, exploring Disneyland with other students
from the Louisiana Center for the Blind, and putting together all the
pieces of Federation philosophy at the end of the convention.
As a means of encouraging others to register for this year’s convention, we
ask that you share a video or audio message about a special memory of your
first convention in less than sixty seconds. By tagging your social media
post with #NFB20 or submitting the entry directly to us by email or phone,
you will be entered to win a cash prize and have your story shared at this
year’s convention.
A Word about Creativity

We encourage you to be creative with the video, but don’t over-think it,
either. Did convention inspire you to go kayaking? Film the video near (or
on) a lake! Did convention inspire you to walk with a cane? Shoot your
video while walking in your neighborhood! That said, do you feel most
comfortable filming the video from your couch? Then do it! Let the setting
be uniquely you, but know that we strongly value creativity.
Contest Rules

We are seeking entries that are heartwarming, funny, and creative. All
entries must:

   - be less than one minute!
   - be received by July 1, 2020
   - include the words “National Federation of the Blind” in full
   - include your name in spoken form
   - nominate three other people by name to participate
   - have the submitter’s name preregistered for convention

How to Submit

Contest submissions can be made in several ways: social media, e-mail, or
by phone.
On Social Media

Post your video using #NFB20 on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok. In
the same post, tag three others to participate, too.
The easiest way to record a video is from your smartphone’s camera. Switch
the camera to be front facing, hold the camera about an arm’s length away
from your face, and hit record. Then, open your social media network of
choice.

   - On Facebook, tap the “Create Post” button, then “Photo/Video.” You'll
   then see a listing of all your recent photos and videos. Add a brief bit of
   text, include #nfb20, and tag your friends. Finally, check the “View
   Privacy” button to be sure that the post is set to “Public.” (We won’t see
   your post if that setting only shows it to your friends!)
   - On Twitter, you can attach your video using the “add photos or video”
   button that can be found on twitter.com just after the “Tweet“ text edit
   field. iPhone and Android Twitter users will have a similar option after
   selecting the “new tweet” button. In addition to your video and brief bit
   of text, be sure to include #nfb20, and mention your friends’ Twitter
   handles preceded by the @ sign. Remember that your Twitter privacy settings
   need to be set such that your tweets are public.

By E-mail

If you don’t have social media, record a video, voice memo, or audio file
with your phone or computer, and e-mail the file to NFB20 at nfb.org.
By phone

We’ve made participating as easy as leaving as a voicemail! Simply call the
National Center at 410-659-9314, dial extension 2020, and leave a
one-minute voicemail of your experience. Still be sure to nominate three
friends as part of your message, then call them to share the news after you
hang up.
Note: Submissions by phone or email may be used on National Federation of
the Blind social media.
