ASA-JSM 2024 Video Contest—No Experience Required!

Get ready to showcase your creativity and win big! The ASA wants to get to know you personally and gain perspective on topics you resonate with. Using your cell phone, we challenge you to create a 60-second selfie video and address one of the 10 contest prompts below.

Our goal is to capture authentic and relatable experiences to share with our global community. And, in the digital age, what better way to foster a sense of connectedness under the “Big Tent” of statistics and data science than through the magic of video?

The contest will run August 4–6. Submit your video by 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time August 6 and you could be the lucky winner of a $500 VISA gift card. We will draw a name from those who entered a video at the ASA Membership Booth (#709) in the EXPO at 4:00 p.m. August 6.

If you have questions, drop by the booth and an ASA staff member will fill in the details.
