We are delighted to announce that the Pop Video Competition 2015 is now LIVE on our YouTube RiLSouthWest channel!!

You are invited to vote for your favourite video to compete for one of the most celebrated prizes, the 'Online Viewers' Award', which is voted for by the general public. You can view all entries in the 2015 Online Viewer's Award Entrants playlist and go to the online voting poll to vote for your favourite one! 

Check out our YouTube opening page for a regular update on who is currently leading in the online voting poll. 

The voting will close on Wednesday 17th June at 9 pm.

 
Programme: 

 

Some useful tips about voting:

1. Inform your school (students and staff) about the competition and the opportunity to vote for your favourite video and ask everyone to vote to support your school's entry(ies). Each person can only choose one video and can only vote for it once from the same IP address - so in case of multiple entries from the same school choose your favourite video to vote for. You can also vote from different IP addresses (school, home, parents' work, relatives, friends etc) - so be creative and pro-active to support your school! 

2. Make sure that you use the correct link to the online voting poll to vote for your favourite video. The votes and 'likes' on our YouTube channel do NOT count towards the OVA voting.  

3. Disseminate this information via your school newsletters, at school assemblies, direct emails to students, staff, parents, and friends, Twitter, Facebook, by word of mouth etc - get everyone you know to support your video!
