Congratulations Caitlin Collom and Watch Out Scotland!
She wrote it, she performed it, and boy did she sing it 鈥� congratulations to our 2010 Grand Prize Winner Caitlin Collom! Our judges were very clear in their decision, and we were delighted to welcome such a talented winner. Caitlin鈥檚 video, 鈥淲atch Out Scotland鈥�, tells the story of her desire to go to the University of Aberdeen for a Master鈥檚 Degree in Strategic Studies. The narration consists entirely of the song lyrics, which tie perfectly to the video to tell the tale. Well done Caitlin!
The decisions for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place were much more difficult. All the winners had to overcome a strong crop of finalists 鈥� Darmadi鈥檚 infectious joy in 鈥淢y Dream, My Journey, My Life鈥�, Jonathan鈥檚 easy-going likability in 鈥淎 Traveler鈥�, Ilya鈥檚 鈥淔airytale鈥� and Susie Satta鈥檚 boots, all these and others offered stiff competition to our winners. Who doesn鈥檛 want to say bon voyage to Roberto, so he can stop pestering his friends, or to send Ben away on a semester at sea?
But in the end the judges were taken with Candy鈥檚 silly humor in 鈥淐ome on USA鈥� (2nd place 鈥� Nattanit Soonthornvech aka Candy); Sixtine鈥檚 stop animation in 鈥淪tuck in the Atlantic鈥� (3rd place 鈥� Sixtine Gurrey); and the beautifully shot 鈥淒ream Follower鈥� (4th place 鈥� Jiyhun Kim). In 2010 Candy was a student at Assumption University in Thailand, and her video tells of her desire to study at Dominican University of California. Sixtine Gurrey, at the time a junior at the University of Florida, tells of her dual heritage, French and American. With her winnings she planned to return to Strasbourg, France to cement her fluency in French. And Jiyhun Kim鈥檚 peaceful video shows her roots in Korea, and her new life in the US.
Congratulations to all of our talented winners and worthy finalists, and thanks to our judges and to all of the contestants! You made the Fifth annual InternationalStudent.com Travel Video Contest one to remember.
