Promotional Video Contest
NJCL Convention Speakers
Submit to the NJCL’s promotional video contest! The promotional video contest highlights creative and high quality videos that serve to promote the NJCL convention, promote classics as a whole, promote state/regional conventions, or retell mythological/historical stories. Additional submissions that don’t fall into any of these categories will be accepted in the “Open” category, which has no winners but has all submissions recognized at the NJCL convention.
To submit, email vp1@njcl.org with your name and chapter/state, as well as the category you’re entering and the video itself. Submissions must be sent by March 15, 2026 (for Nationals promo) or June 1, 2026 (for everything else), but early submissions are encouraged. Note that all video participants must also send a media release form.
For more information, check out the rubric: bit.ly/NJCLPromoVid2526.

I hope you all are getting as excited about NJCL convention as I am! We are currently looking for JCLers who would like to give opening or closing remarks that look back on their time in the JCL and give wisdom to convention attendees.
If you would like to give a remark please fill out the form at bit.ly/2026NatsRemarks.
I can't wait to see what you have to say!
