USTA end-of-year raffle

Close out the school year with a raffle prize

As the year draws to a close, we want to give you a chance to win some prizes! We're holding a raffle to give away three Amazon vouchers, each with a value of either €100 or $100, depending on which currency you prefer. You can have your name put into the raffle up to four times, increasing your chances of winning!

And by participating in the raffle, you'll be helping us promote the Fulbright Austria experience by giving us video material we can use to highlight the work Fulbright Austria does and to engage with a wide range of potential applicants across our social-media channels.

Below you'll find a video and text about the raffle. To enter, please use the form at the bottom of the page.

All of the information you need to participate in the raffle is available in the video. You can also read the information on this page before using the form below to enter the raffle.

Ways to enter

There are four ways to enter the raffle. Three of them involve submitting video material.

1. video about your USTA experience: submit a video about your time in the classroom, cultural aspects of your time in Austria, or anything else related to your experience as a participant in the USTA program.

2. video about an English or German word: submit a video about either your favorite English word that you taught to your Austrian students or your favorite German word that you learned while in Austria.

3. video about your alma mater in the US: submit a video about the US university or college you attended. What did you study, what was it like studying at the university or college, and why would you recommend your alma mater to others?

If you submit one or more of the videos above, you also have a fourth way to have your name entered into the competition: by subscribing to our YouTube channel and posting a comment in the comment section of the video above. The comment should share a highlight of your time as a USTA.

Rules

Each video should be no shorter than 20 seconds and no longer than 50 seconds. Please also record your videos in portrait rather than in landscape.

For each video that you submit, your name will be entered into the drawing once. You can only enter one video per category, but you can enter a video for all three categories if you want. And by subscribing and leaving a comment, you’ll give yourself four chances to win one or more of the three Amazon vouchers.

The fourth option for entering your name in the raffle—subscribing to our YouTube channel and leaving a comment—is only valid if you have also submitted at least one video. (i.e., those who subscribe and leave a comment without also submitting at least one video will not have their name entered in the raffle.)

Only current USTAs (USTAs in the 2022–23 program year) are eligible to enter.

Your video entries must comply with the YouTube Community Guidelines.

Deadline

The deadline to submit your videos (and to subscribe to our YouTube channel and comment on the video) is 29 May.

The drawing will take place on 31 May, and winners will be notified by email.

If you have any questions or if you encounter any technical difficulties when making your submission, please contact Dune Johnson, our web & content manager.
