Students, Where Do You Learn Best?

By Adam Figman, Contract Editorial Intern

Herman Miller, Inc. has created a video contest entitled “Hey, Where Do You Learn Best?,” asking students of two- and four-year colleges or universities to document the locations where they do their best learning. 

The goal of the competition is to facilitate a conversation about the needs and wants of students at institutions of higher education.  To keep the event student-friendly, the company allowed graphic design students at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich. to produce graphics for the contest Web site.

Submissions are being taken until March 26, 2010.  Three finalists will be chosen based on the categories of creativity, originality and appropriateness to the theme.  The first, second, and third place winners will receive Visa gift cards of $2500, $1500, and $1000, respectfully.  Videos are to be 2-3 minutes in length.

To participate, go to www.hermanmiller.com/Student-Video-Contest and sign up.  Participants must be located in the United States.
