How is the winner decided?
On March 10th, 2016 the top 200 videos with the most votes will advance to the next round. On March 25th, 2016 a panel of judges consisting of sponsors, partners and the Global Degree team will decide a winner via live video on the Global Degree website.
What if I am in University? How can I miss school?
We have spoken to many staff and representatives of Universities, and most are allowing students to embark on an 8-month Global Degree program without any effect on their academics.
What should I include in my video?
Tell us in 2-3 minutes why you want to get your Global Degree and how you could contribute to the team. Be as creative and energetic as possible. It can be filmed on any camera and doesn't need to be a motion feature!
How do I upload my video?
You can upload directly to our website or onto youtube and submit the video link. The maximum file size for direct video uploads is 500 MB, so if your video is larger you should upload to youtube. Also, make sure you set the youtube video to 'public' or 'unlisted' so people can view it.
