Youth Group’s video should be an interpretation of the scripture verse, “Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living waters.” (John 7:38), which is the theme for this year's 219th General Assembly. Be creative; express your interpretation through skits, animation, interviews, etc. Submissions are open from March 15 to June 1 and the 10 finalists will be announced on June 9. Everyone is invited to vote for their three favorite videos. From among the 10 videos with the most votes on June 7, the Youth Advisory Delegates will be invited to cast the final votes to determine the two winning videos. The winners will be announced at the 2010 General Assembly (July 3-10, Minneapolis, Minnesota). The Presbyterian Foundation Group will establish two $25,000 endowment funds at the Presbyterian Foundation to support youth ministry at the churches with the winning videos. No substitution or transfer of prizes permitted. No cash will be awarded in lieu of specific awards. Youth groups at churches that received one of the endowment funds during the 2008 VIdeo Challenge are not eligible to pariticpate again.  This is to provide other youth groups the opportunity to win an endowment fund for their youth ministry. <a href="#top">back to top »</a>   <h2>Getting Started</h2> <ol> <li>Youth Leader registers the youth group at ymiLIVE.org beginning February 1.</li> <li>Youth Leader approves and posts video to the web site</li> <li>View your youth group’s video and others at ymiLIVE.org.</li> <li>You can forward a link to the ymiLIVE site to your family and friends to view your video and vote.
