Grange YouTube Commercial Contest announced

Each month, more than 800 million unique viewers visit YouTube to check out different videos.

Bloggers, news media outlets and social media users share their favorite clips for others to see.

Each year, the National Grange Youth department sponsors a Grange commercial contest that encourages Grangers to share their passion for our organization.

These commercials also show others what it means to showcase our “American Values, Hometown Roots.”

This project can be done by individuals or by groups. It also can be done as a youth activity at youth camps, conferences or lock-ins.

Remember, the goal of the contest is to see how creatively Grangers can promote the values and benefits of Grange membership.

In addition to focusing on the National Grange tagline of “American Values. Hometown Roots.” they can also utilize the National Youth Department tagline of “Grange Youth: the Leadership difference or other membership highlights such as grassroots advocacy, community service, and fellowship.
