[youtube dTfLatWuaq0]Every year we receive piles of really amazing paper nominations for so many amazing and talented youth. However, what we would also like to see more of, are video nominations.
Video nominations really show us a rare insight into the world of the nominee and can reflect the passions of the nominee that is often difficult to convey through words. After reviewing the visuals that are sent to us in the form of a video nomination, the ConocoPhillips Youth of Distinction Awards committee’s job is made a little easier as they see the life of the nominee really come alive on the silver screen as the nominator shares his/her story.
Last year, this excellent video nomination was recieved by the YODA committee. Shawna Imeson, whose story is shared with us through the video, went on the receive the Perserverance Award!
