Hello There!
The week is almost over, but have you spent any time on your submission form for the NBC Innovation Challenge?
If you said no, you might want to get on that. The deadline to enter is July 28 - that's just over a week from today!
To begin your application, first follow this link.
Step 1 - Your Intro
The first part of the form is simple enough - just tell us about yourself! One thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to upload a photo - ideally one of yourself. Higher quality/resolution is better (within reason), but ensure your image is at least 650 pixels wide by366 pixels tall for the sake of clarity.
Step 2 - Your Essays
There are four "essay" questions - the first one of which is simply asking for your personal story - but don't let that intimidate you. These don't need to be novels, just thoughtful, inspired answers from the heart.
Step 3 - Your Selfie Video
Now for the fun part. Pull out your smart phone, start talking (on-prompt!) and just let it rip for a few minutes. Will there be several takes? Maybe -- it's all up to you! But when you're done, be sure to upload that quality piece of content to either YouTube or Vimeo. It's completely free to do so on either platform! Once it's live, make sure you get the correct link to your video, and paste that right in the box requesting that on the submission form.
Step 4 - a little more info
Almost there! Just a few questions about your role(s) at NBC Entertainment, a question about your availability (should you win) and that's it: you're home free.
That wasn't so bad, was it?
No need to put this off. For those of you haven't submitted yet -- get started NOW. You never know, you could be selected to join the Innovation workshop in Las Vegas and make a lasting, resounding impact on the entertainment industry with your insights. Totally worth it.
Good luck!
