Show us how you celebrate Read Across America and win!

OEA is seeking entries for a new video contest that highlights reading. It can be your own music reading video, or coverage of a recent Read Across America event.

The winning video will be aired at the Ohio Education Association 2013 Spring Representative Assembly and the winning team will receive a $200 Barnes and Noble gift card.

Guidelines: Video must incorporate Read Across America and should be approximately 3 minutes in length. All entries must be received no later than March 29, 2013. Contest is open to all OEA members. Please include your name, the name of the school where you teach and phone number. Email a link to your YouTube video, or a video file to: RAAvideocontest@ohea.org.  If you have any questions, please contact Michele Prater at praterm@ohea.org.
