Announced today on YouTube, I'm giving Experience Optimism readers a preview of what others will learn during the Optimist International Convention later this week. The Optimist International Foundation and Optimist International are hosting a video contest for adult Optimist Clubs. Titled "Reel Optimism," the contest asks that your club produce a video that describes "What does optimism mean to you and your club?"
The contest officially begins in October. Entries must be submitted online to YouTube between October 1, 2012 and March 1, 2013 and include the hashtag #ReelOptimism. Public voting will take place in May 2013 with winners announced during the 2013 Optimist International Convention. The first place entry will receive a $1,000 club grant, second place $500 and third place $250.
