The deadline for our 2009 My Privacy & Me National Video Competition has passed. This year’s contest was a huge success. Does privacy matter to you? We think so! We received over 100 submissions from all across Canada!
 
Because of the growing popularity of the contest, we have decided to present awards in four different categories (as opposed to last year where we had the students judge all videos together in one category). The categories this year are: live action; animation; French video; and junior (for entrants who are between 12 and 14 years of age).
 
Once again, we will be hosting an event with the students at Encounters with Canada to pick the winners. This event will be happening in early March. More participation also means more prizes. How exciting is that?! There will be first, second and third-place prizes in each category!
 
Thank you for your participation and thanks to all the teachers who encouraged their students to participate and provided them with the support they needed to create awesome videos.

Plan ahead – if you are interested in participating in the contest, and have something to say about personal privacy, we will be launching our 2010 contest in the spring!
 
Stay tuned in following weeks to watch the winning videos from our 2009 contest.
