2. The video must be submitted to slac@aiaonline.org via Google Drive, DropBox, or Youtube link along with the school name, name of submitter, the submitter’s role at the school and the conference of the school (EX. 4A Conference).
3. The video must feature four or more sports or activities* MINIMUM. Sports can be individual or team.
4. The featured sports must include at least two male sports and two female sports. (exceptions for one gender schools – must still include a minimum of two sports).
5. One student must be featured at least once in the video, in an interview format, speaking about the message the school wishes to convey with respect to school spirit, the unique nature of the school, and sportsmanship.

Rubric:

Category	Description
Authenticity of Spoken Message	What makes your school special and different from other schools? What makes you the strongest community?
Clarity of the School’s Message	The consistency of the spoken message that is featured throughout the video. The message should be fluid and avoid any choppiness or discontinuities.
Energy of Students Featured in Video	This does not mean the amount of students at the game. In determining a winner, we value quality over quantity. The energy should be high with lively students in a SAFE environment.
Creativity (NOT PRODUCTION VALUE)	What sets your video apart from other videos, either from a stylistic, layout or content standpoint.
Extra Points	These points are not guaranteed and are based on the discretion of SLAC. They can be earned if the video demonstrates, in a tasteful manner, how some of the following examples contribute to school spirit and the students. Examples: Student Life (ex. student rallies) Academics Activities Community Involvement Other

Scoring Guidelines:

1. The members of SLAC will use a ranking system for each category from 1 to 5. These scores will be collected and averaged.
2. Extra points will be decided by a majority vote of SLAC members.
3. The school with most points from each conference (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A) will be the winner of their conference. The 1A-3A conference winners will be placed into the small school division, and the 4A-6A conference winners will be placed into the large school division.
4. Videos of each of the winning schools will be made available on the AZPreps365 Live mobile app for the small and large school divisions for purposes of fans to vote for the overall winners from each division.
