10 TIPS TO MAKE A GREAT VIDEO NOMINATION

  1. Include who you are and where you are from.  Ideal nominations include both nominator and nominee but only the nominator is required to be in the video.  Using last names in the video is not required.
  2. While not required, enthusiasm and humor is often contagious.
  3. Be Inspiring.  Valor Boy Awards are about inspiring others.
  4. Tell the story of what had to be overcome.  What was at stake of being lost?
  5. Don’t complain or be negative without proposing solutions.  Spread hope.
  6. If appropriate, explain how someone’s life was changed by the courage, sacrifice and/or compassion of the nominee. If possible, including testimony of those impacted is powerful.
  7. Consider information that helps verify the nomination is not exaggerated.
  8. If appropriate, you might film the message at a location that is meaningful to the story.
  9. You are welcome to include a respectful public challenge to someone of higher authority and influence.  Valor Boys will help make your message heard.  Explain why they should be listening and taking action.
  10. Encourage friends to like, promote and even comment on your nomination to show support.  Support from others reflects the positive impact of your leadership.
