WHAT SHOULD THE VIDEO CONTAIN?
Tell us about yourself! Who are you? What do you do in your everyday life? What are you dreaming of? Why should YOU join? We want to see your personality. It is important that this is clearly stated in your video. Show us what you’re good at. Do you play music? Do you sing? Do you love dance, gymnastics or movement? Do you dance mask dance, or do you play the drums? Are you a storyteller or maybe just super funny? You decide what you want to share with us – we want to see what you are good at and what you think is fun!
