SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
This is an excellent video. The narration is very effective and shows the Neuva experience in its totality effectively. For parents watching it, the format is very engaging. The execution of the video is very good. The video creates a sense of inspiration seeing how students can fully explore their areas of interest at the school. It's very upbeat and pleasing to watch. The 'Make the Difference' tagline works well to tie it all up!
How charming! This brings to life the real stories of what fundraising supports. It seems so simple — we should all be doing this! Student narration is the cherry on top. Well done.
Donors give generously when they know their support makes a true impact. By showcasing individual stories from across campus, Nueva highlights how their students and faculty are making a difference. This annual fund video hits the mark and proves that “Nueva helps make dreams possible.”

Very few schools would put their CFO out front to make the case for Giving Day, but Holderness does it well. Kudos to Mr. Schaeffler!
We all try to find ways to let donors know that their donation makes a difference. The CFO was a great addition to the people who thanked donors.
Quick, effective, fast-moving — I appreciate that! Like the "101" theme.
