We’re making a short compilation video of our undergraduate community sharing stories about politics, political science, and what this discipline means to them.
We’re looking for engaging videos where you tell us the most interesting thing you’ve learned in a POLI course this year.
Don’t hesitate to get creative, original, or quirky. But most of all, don’t hesitate to enter!
The Prizes
1st Prize for Best Overall Video: $250 to spend at the UBC Book Store
2nd and 3rd Prize: $150 to spend at the UBC Book Store
Raffle: Everyone who submits a video before the March 15th deadline will be entered in a draw to win one of five UBC hoodies (you pick the size and colour!)
- Contest participants must be current POLI Majors, Minors, Honours, or Combined Majors.
- Team submissions are welcome. Each member of a team will be entered into the raffle, but only one prize will be granted to a winning team to be shared amongst team members.
