Recently our District, District 5340 sponsored the first ever Interact Club-Service Above Self video contest. The contest was open to any public or private high school student, 13 to 18 years of age, residing within the boundaries of Rotary District 5340, comprised of San Diego, Imperial and Southeast Riverside counties. Students were asked to create a 30 second Public Service Announcement (PSA) that incorporated Rotary's "Service Above Self" motto. Prizes up to $500.00 in cash were awarded to the top videos. The District received 24 submissions and announced the winners at the District Conference this past weekend.
They showed the winning videos during Friday night's dinner and everyone was amazed at the quality of the videos, creativity/concept of each video and how effectively the students highlighted "Service Above Self".
Below are the links to the winning videos. Take a few minutes to watch them, it's worth it. Enjoy.
Service Above Self means putting others first. It's you finding opportunities to make the world a better place.
