To Apply
STEP 1: Current photos

(2) Profile, from the chest; looking directly to the side.
(3) Full-body shot, facing camera.
(4) Full-body shot, facing to one side.
STEP 2: Video Introduction
This is to help us get a sense of your on-camera personality. Relax and be yourself.
(1) Record yourself in good lighting, facing camera. You may stand or sit.
(2) Introduce yourself: full name and where you live (and agency, if applicable).
(3) Tell us where you were born and raised.
(4) Share one thing you love about where you were born and raised. (Less than 30 seconds.)
- For children who are still non-verbal, simply tell us their name and age, and something they enjoy doing.
- Parents, if your child can speak, feel free to prompt your child with these questions as you feel appropriate. (We just want to get a sense of how they are on-camera.)
(5) Upload your video to an online video sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and copy the “share” URL address.
- IMPORTANT: Set the privacy settings to “Unlisted” (not “Private”) or “Anyone with a link can view,” so we’ll be able to view it without a password.
