LAURINBURG — WoodmenLife is sponsoring the “America Is…” Video Contest that want to get elementary school students excited about their country and to show pride in their school and their community.

By sharing a 30 to 60 second video on the topic “What America means to me,” students and school representatives across the nation have the opportunity to win up to $2,500 for their school.

The videos will be viewed on WoodmenLife’s Facebook page where the public can vote for their favorite. Prizes will be awarded to the top three videos with the most online votes. Visit www.facebook.com/WoodmenLife for information on other prizes awarded.

All elementary school classroom teachers, band directors, coaches, principals and school-affiliated organizations are eligible to participate in the contest.

Beginning Monday, school representatives can enter the video on the WoodmenLife Facebook video contest tab through noon on April 26.

Facebook fans will then cast their vote for their favorite videos starting April 30 through noon on May 11. The contest winners will be announced on May 14 via Facebook and Twitter.
