MARSHFIELD – Forward Bank is hosting a $1K “School Pride” video contest for local high schools, encouraging students to highlight a school department that should receive $1,000 in a short video.

Videos may feature live people, stills, animation, or whatever students believe will best convey their message. They may work individually or in a small group.

The winner(s) will be determined by an initial review committee of Forward Bank employees. The top 10 videos from each school will be voted on by the public. The department with the most votes will win. Each school will have their own voting period of one week. Voting will take place from October-April.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with our local schools and support multiple co-curricular departments and clubs with this unique donation opportunity,” commented Bill Sennholz, CEO of Forward Bank. “I encourage students to participate even if they are learning remotely this year. It will be a great way to highlight a variety of departments during these times.”

Videos will be accepted on the Forward Bank website – www.forward.bank/school-pride-video-contest — through Oct. 23.
