  3. Be loaded to YouTube.

To enter, load your video to YouTube and complete the contest submission form http://research.unl.edu/events/GrowEatLearn.php by July 1.

Just two more rules:

  2. Have fun!

After receiving all of the entries, the approved videos will be linked from the GrowEatLearn.unl.edu website on June 25, when the UNL website is formally launched. The three videos that get the most views on YouTube by noon (CST) August 1, 2012 will receive a cash stipend of $500. There is no limit to the number of entries you can submit.
