Passion For Agriculture Video

Create a 30-45 second video on your phone capturing your passion for agriculture. After a quick personal introduction, showcase one specific object (i.e., memento, place, project, person, plant, animal) you treasure and describe its significance and how it helped shape your commitment to agriculture, food systems, or natural resources. Videos should be uploaded to the Dropbox link provided in the application.

Video guidelines:
• Begin the video by sharing your name, high school, and anticipated college or university.
• Ask a friend or family member to record you holding the phone horizontally. We want to hear your voice, see your face, and view the showcased object.
• Video length should be no longer than 45 seconds. Points will be deducted for videos exceeding this length.
• Keep it simple and speak from your heart. No fancy editing required (see sample video below).

Tips for uploading video to DropBox:
• Click this Dropbox link from the mobile device or computer where the video is saved. Upload the file directly by clicking "Add Files," then enter your name and email address before selecting "Upload." It may take a few minutes for the file to upload. Wait until you see the "Finished uploading" screen before closing the browser or navigating to another app.

What to do if you encounter errors uploading the video and/or photo attachments:
• Try an alternative browser - Google Chrome is preferable.
• Transfer your video from your phone to the computer or tablet you're using to complete your application. Use your phone’s charging cord to transfer if the computer or tablet has a usb port.
