The winning video in the Alpharma Student Video Contest was produced by the students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I’ll try to update this post with a video embed once it’s on YouTube.
Alpharma Inc., Animal Health has announced that students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison are the $5,000 grand prize winner of the 2008 Alpharma Student Video Contest. Second and third place was awarded to students from the University of Florida and the University of Arizona, each receiving $2,000 and $1,000, respectively, for their efforts.
he video contest began earlier this fall as college agriculture students from across the country were asked to compile short video clips related to food production. Students received a $25 gift card for each video accepted, up to 10. More than 150 clips were uploaded to the contest Web site. In the second phase of the contest, students were asked to compile these clips, along with their own footage, to complete a video telling a story about how food is produced. Five videos were submitted to the contest and voted on by participants and the public. More than 7,000 votes were cast by the time voting ended on December 19th.
Video titles and submitting universities are as follows:
· Today’s Agriculture – University of Florida
· Beef: Our Priority – University of Arizona
· Myth or Fact!? – Ohio Northern University
· Antibiotics in the Dairy Industry – University of Tennessee
· OatS – University of Wisconsin-Madison
