As part of National Athletic Training Month in March, the NATA Student Leadership Committee will once again hold its annual student video contest!
Students will have the opportunity to promote the profession of athletic training by capturing the heart of the profession on film. This year, videos should be based on the 2023 National Athletic Training Month theme “There's an AT for That”. The contest opens March 1, 2023 and closes at 11:59 p.m. CT on March 20, 2023. The contest is open to any CAATE accredited professional athletic training program.
Creativity is key! We look forward to seeing what this year’s entries have in store!
Contest Rules
Each program may submit one entry. Video submissions should be emailed to the NATA SLC Outreach Subcommittee at slcoutreachcom@gmail.com. In the body of the email, include a short explanation of the video, your name and the names of any other AT students involved in the video-making process, your school name and your district. Entries will be accepted through March 20, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. CT. Late entries will not be accepted. Members of the NATA Student Leadership Committee can participate in the video contest.
