Who is Eligible?
Anyone from your AMA Chapter can submit a video on behalf of your chapter. You can also encourage other students from your campus, family members, or other friends to get involved and submit videos on behalf of your chapter. These videos will count toward your Chapter’s total video submissions as long as the individual designates your Chapter during the submission process.
Video Submission Process
You can use our video submission upload page to upload your video and identify your chapter. Once you enter the information and agree to release the content of your video to the AMASavesLives project/Donate Life America, your video will be submitted for review.
All videos are subject to a review process (approved by donation experts) and will be posted on the AMASavesLives YouTube channel within two business days. You will receive an email with your video link once it is available on our YouTube channel.
Videos will be accpeted based on the date they are uploaded to the AMASavesLives website. Videos uploaded to other YouTube channels will not count toward the video competitions.
