For Video Submissions: If you decide to submit a video rather than a cover letter, the purpose of this video is for our Selection Committee to see you having fun telling the story of who you are. Make sure you address the three top questions above. It is up to you how you want your video to look.   

• Short videos compressed to smaller file sizes may be emailed, but if the video file attachment is more than 20 megabytes (20480 KB), you will get an error message because the CISCT Outlook email will not allow for very large attachment sizes.  
• If you want to send files that are larger than 25MB, you may be able to do so through a cloud service like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or iCloud.  
• You could choose to set up a free VIMEO account. Then upload your video to VIMEO and send a link to your video in the email with your other materials. https://vimeo.com/join
