Here's the full scoop from Sallie Mae:

 

Do you have creative ways of saving for college? Tell us about it - in a 30-second video. From turning down the air conditioning to biking to work, show us your best and brightest ideas on how to spend less now to save more for future college costs. Sallie Mae® wants to hear how you are saving to achieve the dream of higher education - whether it's for yourself, your children, grandchildren, niece, nephew, or family friend.

 

With our Saving for College Video Contest, one grand prize winner will be awarded $5,000, one second place winner will be awarded $1,000, and eight semi-finalists will receive $250 each. Share your video with us and you could be one of them!

 

The public will help choose 10 finalists by voting up to once a day between now and the Aug. 1 deadline. Entries will also be judged on quality, creativity, and fit to theme. Once the finalists have been selected, America will again be invited to vote for the grand prize winner between Aug. 10 and 25. Winners will be announced in early September as part of National College Savings Month.

 

Enter your video by August 1 at Tuition Tales and you could be a winner!
