Now for my next act: I wanna be in pictures.

So if you’re a high school student in Virginia, get out your video camera and make my dreams come true. You could win some cash if you’ve got the best and most creative clip.

Reuse me. Recycle me. Repurpose me. And show others how it’s done in one to two minutes.
