Show us how YOU Live United!

Get out your video camera and grab your friends
We are opening our web site up to YOU!!

Here's your chance to show the world how you are LIVING UNITED through giving, advocating and volunteering in your community! All it takes is a video camera, and internet hookup and YouTube to participate.

Take a video of you, your friends or co-workers getting engaged in the community in an activity that helps advance the common good. Maybe you enjoy volunteering reading to children. Show us! Maybe you're raising money to help United Way causes. Show us! Sponsoring a special fundraising event? Film it and send it! Walking around wearing the LIVE UNITED T-shirt? Show it off!

Get clever! Get creative! We'll put the best videos we receive to a public vote. The winning video will be used in a United Way TV/Web announcement, premiered at our Annual Meeting if February, 2009.

What are the rules?
1. Keep it clean - no profanity, please.
2. Keep your short - under 120 seconds - 30 is preferred.

Here's how to enter:
1.   Find a camera, film an activity that shows you giving, advocating or volunteering for a cause.
2.   Go to YouTube and upload your video.
3.   Send us the YouTube link to your video. Just e-mail it to info@uwchatt.org. We'll review it for content, then post it to our LIVE UNITED video player, if it's good to go.*
4.   Tell your friends! Send your friends to the website to see your video! Maybe you can get them engaged in giving, advocating and volunteering through education, stability and supporting the most vulnerable.

If you haven't done so, sign up for United Way E-mail updates to keep up with the contest and other ways United Way is creating lasting change in our community!

Thank you for letting us know how you LIVE UNITED!
