Monday, April 27, 2009 CLA Announces its 2009 YouTube Contest WinnersThe College of Liberal Arts at Auburn University is proud to announce the winners of the 2009 Community and Civic Engagement YouTube Contest. This year's first place video, and winner of $500 in prize money, is "Auburn Social Work Students" submitted by Ashley Nunn, Amanda Taylor, and Beyondai Hall. "Reading is Fun," submitted by John Anderson, secured second place and a prize of $250, and "Ummm...," submitted by Amanda Morris, won the third place prize and $150. All three of the videos are available for viewing at: http://media.cla.auburn.edu/cla/youTube_contest.cfm. Sponsored by Auburn University's College of Liberal Arts, the 2009 YouTube contest invited contestants to grab a video camera and document instances of Auburn students demonstrating their commitment to civic responsibility by transforming public education into public good. The videos were judged on creativity, originality, relevance to the contest theme, potential to provoke discussion regarding civic engagement at Auburn University, and the number of votes received from Auburn University students and staff. Of all the entries, the judges thought that the three winning videos offered the most creative, compelling, and thought-provoking glimpses of how community and civic engagement is a prominent part of learning and living at Auburn University and beyond. The judges said that they were looking for videos that would prompt the Auburn community to reflect on, talk about, and even take a critical perspective of civic responsibility as a key feature of what the College of Liberal Arts and its students do. The judges were pleased that the three winning videos clearly met those criteria. Nunn, Taylor, and Hall's "Auburn Social Work Students" proved to be the best of the best. Featuring students and faculty in Auburn University's Social Work program describing the numerous contributions they make to local, national, and global communities, the video boldly underscores the need for civic engagement as a cornerstone of higher education.
