Short video explanation of OWR Contest
To make sure both you and OWR are safely following social media guidelines- You must read through the" legalities". By submitting your video you are acknowledging you have read and agree to the terms :)
The platform OWR is using to collect your awesome 4-second video clips is OWR's Facebook page. It is safe for you to upload and allows for yourself and others to "like" the videos, you think, should be part of the commercial!
The link is at the bottom of this "rules" page.
Make sure you "like" and "follow" OWR's Facebook, so you can follow your clips progress and "like" other clips. We will announce the winners on Facebook and this website, as well. Along with the name you wish to use on your clip, for the finished commercial.
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.

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.
