FROM: SUBJECT:

We are pleased to announce the sixth annual CFC-O/DoDDS PSA contest. Last year proved to be another successful collaboration with more than 40 entries from Europe and the Pacific. The contest is an engaging, educational activity for students and the finished products underscore the importance of giving and help market the CFC. The 2014 contest dates are April 1st through May 1st giving students the opportunity to use the skills they have developed throughout the school year for the contest and providing adequate time for judging and notifying students before the school year ends. Submitted videos will be posted to the CFC-O YouTube page (Combined Federal Campaign Overseas) for public viewing. Winning entries will be determined by a panel of judges in Washington, D.C. using the established scoring rubric (60 percent) and the number of public views on the CFC-O YouTube channel (40 percent). The winning PSAs will be aired during the 2014 CFC-O season (September December) on AFN.
