It’s an Australian video … it’s a top five finalist in the world …  and with the Australian public’s views,  likes and shares on YouTube, it could be number one!

That’s the thrilling opportunity facing Flinders University’s entry to the Times Higher Education “Why I Love My University …” video competition.

Flinders is the only Australian university with a chance of winning the top award, which is one of the most sought after university video prizes in the world.

Because the winner is partly selected according to its online popularity, Flinders is putting out an Australia-wide call for shares and views of the Flinders video entry on YouTube.

The clip, which was produced by the University’s Flinders Creations team, faces an international field of finalists comprising two Canadian entrants, the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University,  and two from Russia, Novobisirsk State University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

Shot and edited by Flinders Creations Producer Tom Young, the video is an inspiring, high-energy montage of images of graduating students writing why they love Flinders on a chalkboard against several iconic Flinders backdrops.
