It's Official!

This year's Read.Flip.Win. contest ended July 31 with over 50 videos submitted!  Five Teen Librarians and our Education and Teen Services Coordinator had the difficult task of deciding the winners.  There were many front runners this year making it even more difficult to choose our winners, but we did and you can see them on the KCLS Teen webpage.

The KCLS Foundation again generously donated the prizes which were HD Flip video cameras for the Grand Prize winners and regular Flip video cameras for the Runner's Up. 

Thanks to everyone in who helped us with the contest this year! 

It's official!  RFW 2009 has begun.  The contest runs from June 1 to July 31.  The online submission form is now available online, so get working on your videos!  For more information see our earlier blog post. or go to the RFW website. 

New this year! We have a Facebook Fan Page.  Keep up on what's happening with the contest and let us know what you think!

If you have more questions, talk to your local Teen Librarian!

Read.Flip.Win. 2009 is coming up, so get your cameras and computers ready! This year the program will begin June 1 and run until July 31. You get TWO months to create your videos and you can submit as many videos as want!

PRIZES: This year, the two grand prizes will be HD Flip video cameras. The two categories are Video Book Review (think movie critic) and Video Book Trailer (think movie trailer). Runner's up will also get Flip camera's - just not the HD version.

RULES: The rules are simple. Videos should be 3 minutes or less. Video Book Reviews should focus on content. Video Book Trailer should focus on creativity. All videos should be submitted on time (no later than July 31), within time limit (the 3 minute rule), and via the KCLS online submission form. To see winners and runner's up from last year check out the RFW 2008 webpage.

As submissions come in we will post them on our website http://www.kcls.org/teens/rfw/ where you will be able to watch other entries.

For more information, contact your local Teen Librarian!

During the month of July, KCLS sponsored a video book review contest for Teens - Read.Flip.Win. 

Teens from around King county created video book reviews and trailers for their favorite books, and uploaded them to their personal Youtube accounts. 

Two grand prize winners received Flip video cameras, and runners up got mp3 players.

Check out the winners on the Teen page.
