Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs is conducting an Air Force-wide recruiting and retention video contest that is open to all Airmen.
The goal of the contest is to provide an opportunity for Airmen to develop and produce videos to capture their vision of an effective Air Force recruiting and retention TV commercial.
The videos will be in “mission documentary” format, in which Airmen talk about what they do for the Air Force and the nation. All video contest entries are due to the 435th Air Base Wing Public Affairs office by Jan. 7 for review before forwarding to U.S. Air Forces in Europe Public Affairs and on to SAF/PA.
A chief of staff of the Air Force coin and congratulatory letter will be awarded to the
winners in each category. Letters will be given to the runners-up in each category.
All videos submitted in either category will be posted to Air Force Blue Tube where they can be viewed and downloaded.
The guidelines for submission are:
• Send a high quality recruiting video for possible use in the next Air Force recruiting and retention advertising campaign
• Submit in either the Professional Team
category or the Individual Airman category
• Don’t send videos with a soundtrack or background music (though suggestions are
welcome), or send videos that violate Air Force ethics standards
• Videos should be 27 to 30 seconds long and no larger than 40MB
• The minimum video dimensions are 640 x 480.
