The Get MotivatED Challenge and Def Jam Rapstar want you and your friends to create a short rap or spoken word video about how education influences your life! You can rhyme about your goals, going to college, school pride, hard work, dedication it’s up to you!
Only U.S. residents who are current students, ages 13-19, are eligible to submit videos. Videos must be no longer than 60 second in length. The contest is open for submissions from 2/21/2011 to 3/18/2011. Voting will take place from 2/21/2011 to 3/18/2011. Individuals will be required to sign in to vote. Anyone over 13 years of age can vote. Voters can vote for multiple videos but can only vote for each video one time.
If your video is selected as the winning entry, the stars of the video could win a trip to New York City to meet with Def Jam executives like Russell Simmons and Kevin Liles, and the chance to perform your rhyme live on BET’s 106 & Park. Plus students from Get MotivatED schools who submit videos in the first week will receive a gift card.
