CU*Answers, the cooperative core processing CUSO, recently ended the submission period for its 9th Annual Video Contest, and announced that the contest had excellent credit union participation. In total thirty-five entries were entered for the three contests: seventeen entries for the best video idea, fourteen for the best 30-second spot idea, and four for the best complete video. The theme for this year’s contest is “Online Retailing 2.0: Redefining Everything Credit Union.”

For the best video idea and 30-second spot idea categories, a committee will review the submissions, select winners, and work with Grand Rapids-based Fulvew Productions to professionally script and produce the winning entries. The winners for all three contests will be announced and debut at the CU*Answers Annual Leadership Conference in June.

Winners will each be awarded $1,500 for their credit union and receive a customized version of their video. The videos will be made available to watch on www.cuatv.com after the CU*Answers Leadership Conference. Past winners and a collection of videos produced by CU*Answers and Fulvew can currently be seen on the site and are available to any credit union to use on their website, lobby monitors, or in some cases, as television spots. Contact CU*Answers for additional details.
