Texas Bar Awards Three $2,500 Prizes in 10-Entry Video Contest
The odds of winning the State Bar of Texas’ YouTube video contest were fairly good. The bar got 10 entries and awarded three prizes of $2,500 each.
The bar required the videos to be less than three minutes in length, on the topic of the importance and value of the justice system in our daily lives.
The winner of the age 18 and above category, 24-year-old Natalie Jordan of Dallas, works for a film company, the Tex Parte blog reports. Among the people she interviewed in her video was Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins.
Two prizes were awarded in the under 18 category because of a tie. Brothers Raphael Chaumette, 10, and Alexandre Chaumette, 7, of Sugar Land will share one prize for a video of themselves sharing their thoughts on the meaning of justice. The other goes to 15-year-old Huey Fischer of Rockport for his animated video of the murder trial of stuffed animal Barry E. Vull.
