WGU sponsored a scholarship video contest this year. Contestants were asked to watch the WGU commercial, and then create their own commercial showing us why WGU is a "A Smarter Way to Learn". They were able to submit humor, drama, action, or animation—whatever genre they wanted. The objective was to create a 30, or 60-second video "commercial" that would make a real impression. Winners were be determined by a combination of online general public votes and a panel of WGU judges. We had the pleasure to interview our 2nd place winner, James Brahos, a WGU Indiana university student.
