Cadet Recruiting Video Contest

We are looking for a recruiting video that focuses on what cadets can do in their first year of membership. The video will need to demonstrate the positive cadet life that CAP offers and it will need to be functional for all units. Please do not refer to unit names or specific titles of activities, such as CTEP or ILP. You would be able to discuss leadership schools, encampments and other normal activities. This video should focus on recruiting prospective members unfamiliar with CAP, so the use of acronyms should me minimal. The contest is open to all current members of CAP.
