NCCER and Build Your Future (BYF) are excited to announce the fourth annual I Built This! video contest with updated categories and even bigger rewards, including $5,000 in prizes. Designed to help promote construction as an industry of choice, the contest illustrates the unique perspective of trainees or students and allows them to share videos of their projects. High schools and technical schools are able to gain attention for their programs and help shine a light on careers in construction.
Students, trainees and instructors from secondary or postsecondary programs are eligible to submit videos and the contest is open now through October 1, 2018. With a total of five prizes, categories include winners for individual and group from both secondary and postsecondary programs and, completely new in 2018, People’s Choice, which gives the public the chance to vote on their favorite. For more details and contest rules, check out nccer.org/i-built-this.
We encourage submissions from all types of construction and maintenance crafts and invite instructors, students and trainees to take this opportunity to show off their skills. Previous winners include entries from a variety of programs: ABC of Metro Washington Apprenticeship Program; Carroll County Career and Technology Center; Dr. Kirk Lewis Career and Technical High School; and Southern Air Apprenticeship Program.
