SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
This video blew me away. Amazingly effective to use a phrase is loved, known and uniquely yours — what a way to inspire students, teachers, alumni (really, anyone! I feel inspired watching it!). A homerun.

The opening graphic design cutout is excellent. The musical accompaniment is also excellent, and the visual quality is outstanding.

This is a very original and appealing look at the Louise S. McGehee School. The length is perfect, and there is so much colour! The way the students have been captured is very charming.

Sweet! Different! Love the fresh language and emotional pull through the visuals and narration.

Compelling, concise, and with a little humor...great appeal video.

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
Quick, clear, persuasive, and inspiring to be a part of fundraising at Poly Prep! This shows what your impact will be and how students will benefit.

Even with no dialog or interviews, the prospective donor clearly understands the need and call to action. Great artist renderings of the planned spaces contrasted with the impressive current program. Attention-grabbing, high energy music. Nice job!

The pace of this is great, and it has a very dynamic feel to it.
