For the first time, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced an online International Video Contest. The theme of the contest is “Make Your Own Mormon Message.” The contest is open to Church members around the world, ages 13 and up.

The purpose of the contest is to give Church members an opportunity to strengthen their testimonies as they share their talents with worldwide members and to “join the conversation” in sharing the gospel with the world.

Members can submit their videos online from October 18 through January 31, 2011.

Videos can be entered in one of five categories that include professional, amateur, and ages 13 to 17. Up to three winner awards of $500 (USD) will be given in each category.

Members will be able to view finalist videos online and vote for their favorites. Winners will be announced April 13, 2011.
