Entry deadline is December 1, 2014
Students who want a fun way to help fund their savings goals
have an opportunity to combine their technical savvy and creativity
to win up to $6,500, plus $750 for their school, by entering the
American Bankers Association’s (ABA) “Lights, Camera, Save!” video
contest.
“U.S. Bank looks forward to this video contest every year
because there are so many creative entries,” said Erica Opstad,
manager of U.S. Bank’s Office of Corporate Citizenship and
Financial Education. “We have received a lot of positive feedback
from students, parents and educators. We hear over and over again
how much fun the students had writing and producing a 90-second
video that combines the message of why it’s important to save money
and how to do it.”
“Lights, Camera, Save!” is one of several components of the
ABA’s Teach Children to Save program. The video contest encourages
teens to use video to communicate the value of saving and inspire
others to become smart money managers. To participate in the
contest, students ages 13 to 18 can visit a U.S. Bank branch or
visit http://www.usbank.com/lightscamerasave for an entry form and
contest details. U.S. Bank will host the first round of judging and
will submit the top three winning videos to compete on the national
level.
Contestants need to submit the video’s URL along with a
completed entry form to U.S. Bank now through December 1, 2014.

"Saving and using money wisely is something I practice in my
everyday life, so creating a video about it wasn't a big challenge.
I was honest, kept it simple, had fun with it, and in the end it
was very rewarding,” said Oskar Velazquez De Leon of Mesa, Arizona,
last year’s winner of U.S. Bank’s Lights, Camera, Save!
Videos submitted to U.S. Bank's preliminary round will have the
chance to win a cash prize up to $1,500. All three winning videos
from the preliminary round, will be selected by the U.S. Bank
judging panel, and entered into the ABA's nationwide contest for a
chance to win the national grand prize of $5,000. In addition to
the student prizes, U.S. Bank will give cash prizes to the school
of the winning students. People who have questions about the
“Lights, Camera, Save!” contest can visit a U.S. Bank branch or
