You can talk about things in the workplace, family and other interests. If you make a mistake, PLEASE FEEL FREE to do another take. Send us both takes and we will edit the best version together

TECH TIPS: Screen last year’s video to understand how we put it together.
Remember, GOOD QUALITY PICTURES of the nominee help everyone in the Paterson Alliance see your award winner just like you do. Please include at least FIVE photos of the nominee, including one that can be used as a headshot. (Note: If scanning images, please set the scanner to at least 150 dpi.)

  • Video can be shot with a smartphone, preferably filmed in landscape mode

  • Please DO NOT add your own music.
