Oregon Wellness Retreat invites you to enter the “What’s Your Wellness?” video clip contest. Submit a brief, 3-6-second, original video on how you create wellness for yourself. From extreme to leisure activities, of all kinds.

Keep in mind: *We will not use the audio of your video on the final project. So, do not talk to the camera. *The “activity” must be able to be replicated by another individual while within 60 miles from Ashland, Oregon. *Any clips showing nudity or brands will be removed and are not eligible. *Include no text or symbols in your clip. *OWR will add text including your name and “Wellness” activity, on the final commercial.
