Two bursaries for the Artists for Artists conference in Toronto are up for grabs. To win, upload a video to Youtube explaining why CARFAC is important to you. The creators of the videos with the most “likes” will receive a bursary of up to $500 to cover travel and registration.
Be sure to use your social networks and get your friends involved. The more your video circulates, the better your chances of winning! Don’t forget to use the conference hashtag #Artists4Artists.
Never made a video before? It’s easier than you think! If you have a camera on your computer or phone, that’s all you need. And if you want to get fancy and do some editing, there are lots of free programs out there. Videos are not expected to be of professional quality. Read this article for tips on creating shareable videos.
