Video Contest from Access Group ($10,000!)

[Note: This information is posted on behalf of Access Group.]

Access Group would like you to spread the news about a scholarship contest we’re holding specifically for law students.

For the second consecutive year, Access Group is sponsoring its popular law scholarship video contest and we’re inviting as many students as possible to participate in this opportunity. During last year’s "One Less Worry" contest, we received 99 video submissions and awarded six winning law students more than $15,000 in scholarships. Now, we’re doing it again!

This year’s law video contest, "My Inspiration," is calling for current and entering law students to create and submit a brief video describing their inspirations for becoming a lawyer. The top ten videos, as chosen by Access Group, will be posted on YouTube.com and the student whose video receives the most votes will win a $10,000 scholarship. Access Group may also award up to five additional honorable mention scholarships valued at $1,500 each. Deadline for entries is July 15, 2009, with judging set to begin August 3, 2009. The winners will be announced by September 3, 2009.

For more details, including the official rules and deadlines, please visit them here.

A panel of attorneys representing a diverse cross-section of practice areas will
inform participants about the profession. Panelists will describe their career
paths and offer details on the skills needed to represent clients effectively.
This panel will be especially helpful to participants who do not know practicing
