| iHistory Project is proud to be working in cooperation with the Library of Congress Veterans History Project in helping to preserve the legacy of American servicemen and women. The Library of Congress launched itsefforts 10 years ago and to date has collected nearly 70,000 veterans' oral histories, of which over 30,000 have been of WWII veterans. According to recent figures, there are still more than 1,000,000 WWII servicemen alive and the iHistory Project is looking forward to playing a part in working with the Library of Congress to ensure that as many of these stories as possible live on for this generation and for those yet to come. |

How would you like to help make history come alive? Create a mini-documentary of a World War II veteran and win a spot in a full-length documentary!
The iHistory Project is proud to announce a ground-breaking YouTube contest for students ages 13–18. Students are invited to create two films: a 30+ minute interview with a World War II veteran that will be archived at the Library of Congress, and a mini-documentary (3–5 minutes in length) from that interview. Your mini-documentary is your opportunity to tell the world how a specific soldier made their mark on American history.
When is the competition?
WHEN: We will be accepting video submissions via our YouTube channel in early 2013 (exact dates coming in June 2012). Paperwork, along with your unedited interview, must also be sent to the Library of Congress. Voting will take place shortly afterwards. The winning film will be announced the following month (dates coming soon).
Rules
Students must be 13-18 years of age at the time of submission. Adults may help the students but the students must be solely responsible for interviewing, filming, and editing of the story. Students may work in teams with other students. Schools are permitted to offer resources and information for students but may not have any creative influence over the student’s project.
