Tips on creating a winning Digital Megaphone Chicago Auto Show Video Challenge Video
1. Make sure to keep the judging criteria in mind — this is key because it’s what you’ll be judged on and what we think is important. Here’s a recap of the judging criteria:
- How well the video captures the spirit of the 2014 Chicago Auto Show
Whether it’s one of the very cool interactive displays, taking a spin on one of the test drive courses or an interview featuring breaking news about your favorite vehicle, we are looking for videos that capture the spirit of the show. As you can see in the video above, the challenge was to create a video that captured the spirit of Chicago, they winning team nailed it!! Portillo’s is a Chicago institution and a hot dog without Ketchup is a must!
- Creativity
Have fun and get creative!!! The best videos usually strike a cord – they make us laugh, cry, etc…
- Overall quality
This one should speak for itself. We know you have a limited amount of time, so make sure you allocate some of the time to the look and feel of the video.
2. Speaking of time, make sure to turn your video in on time!!
All videos are due by 11:30 am CST. Winners will be announced at 12:30 am. We’ll start serving lunch at Noon. This will all take place on the media stage between the North and South exhibit halls.
3. Make sure your phones are ready
