- WHO CAN ENTER: Open to anyone familiar with CCCA; however, only member camps or individual members of CCCA are eligible to receive cash/merchandise prizes. Void where prohibited by law.
- HOW IT WORKS: Using one or a mix of the 12 song clips (listed under Rule 5), create an original, one- to three-minute video in conjunction with one of three categories (listed under Rule 4) portraying how you as a team accomplish more together. One entry per camp per category is allowed (a maximum of three videos). Then enter your video into the Contest at www.facebook.com/cccaorgconnect from 12 a.m. (MT) on Oct. 15 through 11:59 p.m. (MT) on Nov. 1, 2010, as per the instructions in Rule 6.
- HOW TO ENTER: Promotion for the “CCCA Better Together Video Contest” begins Sept. 1, 2010. Participants will then have six weeks to script, edit and prepare their videos for submission. Beginning at 12 a.m. (MT) on Oct. 15, 2010, visit www.ccca.org/bettertogether and follow the directions for how to upload your video to CCCA’s Official Facebook Fan Page. Submissions loaded before Oct. 15 will not be considered. Before the last day of conference (11:59 p.m. (ET), Dec. 8, 2010), the entry with the most “Facebook likes” will be considered the Viewers’ Choice winner. Videos in each of the three categories (as listed under Rule 3) will be judged, and the top videos in each category will be debuted at the CCCA National Conference held Dec. 6–9, 2010, in Asheville, N.C. A winner from each category and the Viewers’ Choice winner will then be announced at the general sessions at the conference, and prizes will be awarded.
