Get creative!!! All submitted video's will be posted on the UMDF Facebook page, ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Unite...-Foundation/202570833099467?tr=y&auid=8683473 ) where people will be encouraged to 'like' their favorite video. The five video's with the most 'likes' will be entered into the final round of judging by a panel selected by the UMDF.
