Chartered Accountants rule. They’re among the best-trained business minds out there. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario wants you to help spread the word.

Sample Rule the Tube Video

Created and produced by Richard Jagielowicz (2010 Rule the Tube winner) and Greg Smith

 

This year's video theme: Why being a Chartered Accountant Rocks.

Make your video as deadly serious or totally nutso as you like. You'll be judged on originality, creativity, number of views on YouTube and how much it impresses the Institute’s Career Information Team.

Before you rule the tube, you've got to know these rules.

  • You must be an Ontario high school or university student
  • Video must be no longer than 2.5 minutes
  • Entries must be produced by an individual but the video can feature as many people as you like
  • The theme must be "Why being a Chartered Accountant rocks"
  • Please keep your video tasteful
  • Your video must be an original creation
  • You must appear in the video at least a little bit
  • www.guidetorulingtheworld.ca must appear in the video - be creative!
  • Your video title must follow this format: Rule the Tube 2011 - "Title of your video"
  • A complete set of contest rules can be found at www.guidetorulingtheworld.ca/RuleTheTube

2. Submission Instructions. Thrilling? No. Vital? Yes.

To submit your video, upload it to YouTube and apply online.

3. Master the subtle art of shameless self-promotion.

A big part of the contest is based on how well you promote your video. It isn't enough to be a brilliant and original video-maker, you also need to prove your skills as an epic promoter. The more views, likes and positive ratings you receive on YouTube, the better. Negative ratings and comments will not count against you. So don't fear the haters.
