2007 UW Pride in 5 Video Contest

UPDATE: Thanks to all the Huskies who took part, it was a tremendous success!

In case you missed it, here's what the Pride in 5 contest was all about:
Here’s a chance to showcase your Husky Pride—a very brief snippet of it, anyway. Take a tiny bite out of your 15 minutes of fame by entering the UWAA’s “Pride in 5” competition. Submit a 5-second video showing us your true colors (provided they’re purple and gold) between Sept. 19 and Oct. 22. Prizes will be awarded, and the winning entry will be announced at the 2007 Homecoming Rally.

Why enter? Well, the top 3 video get cash. The top 10 videos will also be shown at the 2007 Homecoming Rally and on the Huskytron during the Homecoming football game, assuring your eternal glory. Those are nice, but, really, it's all about Husky Pride. See the Pride in 5 rules page for more details.
