Calling All Law Firm and Corporate Legal Department Women’s Initiative Groups
and Networks, Women’s Bar Associations, Women’s Law Student Organizations, and
Organizations Dedicated to Advancing, Empowering, and Promoting Women in Law!
Please join the National Association of Women Lawyers (“NAWL”) as we highlight “Women Lawyers
Succeeding!”
NAWL invites you to participate in its inaugural YouTube video competition! Submit a two-minute
video on “Women Lawyers Succeeding!” that showcases what that phrase means to your group.
NAWL will post all submissions that are suitable for posting on its YouTube channel. The three videos with
the highest number of views by February 1, 2017 will be declared the winners. The winning videos will be
shown at NAWL’s Mid-Year Meeting & Awards Luncheon in Chicago on March 10, 2017 and may be
shown at future programs focused on what “Women Lawyers Succeeding!” means today.
Contest Rules and Requirements:
• Submissions will only be accepted from groups – no individuals, please! We like to see women
lawyers working collaboratively!
• The submitting entity ― separate from the organization which it is a part ― must be comprised of at
least 50% women. Hence, law firm and corporate legal department women’s intiatives and affinity
groups qualify even if the firm or company is not 50% women.
• Only one submission per group is permitted. In the event that more than one entry is received from
the same group, only the first entry will be accepted.
• Submissions must be accompanied by a fully-completed entry form and signed release indicating
that you own or have permission for the use of any and all content contained in your submission.
• Entrants are encouraged to promote viewing of their video via social media. Follow NAWL on Twitter
at @NAWLWomeninLaw and be sure to tag us in your posts!
• The winning entries will be determined solely by the number of views logged between the time the
video is posted and 5:00 PM CT on February 1, 2017.
• NAWL will post accepted submissions within 2 business days of submission.
• NAWL reserves the right to establish other categories of winners in addition to those determined by
the largest number of views.
• NAWL reserves the right to reject any submission it deems unsuitable for posting on its YouTube
channel.
Videos must be submitted via Dropbox to nawl@nawl.org. The contest release and entry form may
be sent directly to nawl@nawl.org. For more information, please contact Kelsey Vuillemot, NAWL’s
Membership & Publications Coordinator, at vuillemotk@nawl.org.
