UPDATE

This year, APhA-ASP received 41 submissions to the APhA-ASP PharmFlix Video Contest with the theme of "Share Your Story." A panel of student pharmacist judges reviewed all of the submissions and narrowed it down to a list of the "Top 15" videos.

 

Each APhA-ASP member is allowed one vote for the video that you believe is best submission.  Voting closes on January 27 at midnight PST. The video with the most votes will receive our APhA-ASP PharmFlix Academy Award, and will be announced at the APhA-ASP Awards Ceremony during the APhA2012 Annual Meeting & Exposition in New Orleans, LA. The Top 10 video finalists (as voted upon by you) will receive certificates at the APhA-ASP Awards Ceremony and will be recognized throughout the Annual Meeting during the APhA-ASP Sessions.

 

Review the top 15 videos and submit your Vote by Jan 27th. 

BACKGROUND

You are invited to participate in APhA-ASP’s PharmFlix Video Contest! This year’s theme is inspired by APhA Executive VP and CEO Tom Menighan, who encourages the student pharmacist seeking to illustrate why pharmacists are important to the health care team to “Share Your Story.”

The PharmFlix short film platform has proven to be a popular and creative way to advocate for our profession.  These films play online throughout the year, exerting their influence well beyond the Annual Meeting and APhA-ASP Awards Ceremony. Your efforts at relating the professional knowledge, compassion, and vision of the pharmacist, whether in the setting of patient care projects, grassroots advocacy, or the workplace, can inspire an enhanced perception of the pharmacist’s role in patient care.

This is an opportunity to “Share Your Story,” to share what the practice of pharmacy means to you.  We are today’s student pharmacists, shaping the future of pharmacy in patient care, and “This Is Our Story”.

DESCRIPTION

These short public service announcements (PSA) can be of various genres including, but not limited to, documentaries, parodies of pop-culture, commercials, music videos, and movie trailers. You are encouraged to work with your chapter members to create your PSA. One video submission per campus.

In keeping with the theme, “Share Your Story”, you must include either “We are…(enter your names), and this is our story.” or “I am…(enter your name), and this is my story.”  The placement of this phrase is up to you.

The Top 10 winners will receive certificates and will be recognized during the Awards Ceremony of the APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition on March 12, 2012. The first place winner will receive the PharmFlix trophy. The top 10 videos will also be showcased during the 2012 APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana, so, get creative and work together to celebrate pharmacy!
