As I said last week, here at the Certiport headquarters, we would like to know you better! And we're willing to throw in some BONUS POINTS as an incentive for you to tell us about yourselves in a team video! Here's what to do...

REQUIRED VIDEO COMPONENTS

First, team members will address the following questions in their native language:

• What is your team name? How many people are on your team so far?
• What motivated you to pursue training and certification?
• How has certification changed your job/career (for example: recognition, advancement, increased confidence, job opportunities)?
• How has the IC³ World Cup helped your organization?
• How have the IC³ exams helped you achieve, be distinguished, and/or advance?

Second, one or more members of the team will simply state the following phrases in their native language:

• "IC³ Certification will help me achieve my personal academic and career goals."
• "Internet and Computing Core Certification gives me self-confidence and will help me in future schooling or employment."
• "IC³ Certification has helped me sharpen and certify my skills, which will help me advance in other technological skills."

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

• Teams will post their videos on YouTube and email a link to ic3cup at certiport.com.
• If the video is chosen to be used in the IC³ feature video at the annual company Pathways conference, featured team members will be asked to sign and return a release form giving Certiport permission to use the video.

DEADLINES AND POINTS

• Submit video link by January 15th, 2009 for 600 points.
• Submit video link by April 15th, 2009 for 300 points.
• A few good quality, interesting, inspiring videos will be presented in part or in full at Pathways in July. Teams with videos selected for use in that program will receive an additional 1,000 bonus points.

If you have questions, please comment below. Have a great weekend everyone!
