How
to submit your entries: If your video was
broadcast on your website, write legibly on the entry form the URL. If the URL
is too long for the space provided, please TYPE the URL address on a separate
sheet of paper and tape the entry form to the back of that paper. CSPA suggests
making a shorter URL address for entries with long permalinks with a URL link shortening
system such as https://bit.ly.com, or tiny.cc. If the video
was broadcast on a school network, send a copy of each video on a DVD. Tape a
copy of the entry form to each DVD.
Judges
can only consider entries with a working URL.
