Just a reminder that the March 31^st deadline for video submissions and event summaries is only 3 days away for awards and recognition at the 2010 AMA International Conference in New Orleans! Since many chapters have not started yet this is a great opportunity to walk away with awards for your chapter. YOU HAVE TO UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS OR EVENT SUMMARIES TO WWW.AMASAVESLIVES.COM TO BE ENTERED. Attendance at the conference is not necessary to win, so make sure to get all of your entries in by the deadline.

More competitions will start April 1st so keep an eye out for those as well.

We loved seeing all of your videos in February to raise awareness for the AMASavesLives Project and the need for organ donors!

For the month of February, we have nominated two videos submitted during that month for Round 1 of the Best Video Competition to be awarded at the AMA International Conference in April. The nominees are “Organ Donors – A New Hope” from Texas State University – San Marcos and “Organ Face” from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Congratulations to these two chapters for having videos selected by the Organ Procurement Organization as two of the best videos from February! If you have not watched these videos yet, go to http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6117ADD2F62A7B38 or watch them below.

The winners will be selected by Chapter Presidents (one vote per chapter) via email the week prior to the conference. Don’t forget there will also be another round of video competitions starting April 1^st! So keep submitting those videos!
