The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program housed under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the launch of the ``MRC Serves'' Video Challenge. The MRC is a national network of volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities. MRC volunteers have medical, public health, other backgrounds and have responded to natural disasters, public health and other emergencies, while also supporting community health activities. The MRC Program is looking for innovative and cost effective ways to promote these activities and demonstrate how MRC units and their volunteers make their communities healthier, prepared, and more resilient. Today there are nearly 200,000 volunteers, in almost 1,000 MRC units nationwide, who give their skills and time year around to support their communities and serve as ambassadors for the MRC to their friends, families, neighbors, and co- workers. The MRC Program would like to engage MRC volunteers to also be national ambassadors by creating short promotional videos that will be used by the MRC Program to highlight how serving as MRC volunteers makes communities healthier, more prepared, and more resilient.

SUMMARY: The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program housed under the

announces the launch of the ``MRC Serves'' Video Challenge. The MRC is

public health, other backgrounds and have responded to natural

community health activities. The MRC Program is looking for

innovative and cost effective ways to promote these activities and 
demonstrate how MRC units and their volunteers make their communities 
healthier, prepared, and more resilient. Today there are nearly 200,000 
volunteers, in almost 1,000 MRC units nationwide, who give their skills 
and time year around to support their communities and serve as 
ambassadors for the MRC to their friends, families, neighbors, and co-
workers. The MRC Program would like to engage MRC volunteers to also be 
national ambassadors by creating short promotional videos that will be 
used by the MRC Program to highlight how serving as MRC volunteers 
makes communities healthier, more prepared, and more resilient.

DATES: Challenge begins on August 1, 2016, and ends on September 2, 
2016 at 11 p.m. EDT. ASPR staff will judge eligible submissions and 
select semifinalists September 6-7, 2016. Judging of semifinalist 
videos will take place from September 8-26, 2016. The winners will be 
notified and announced no later than September 30, 2016. Timeline 
changes will be announced on https://mrc.hhs.gov as well as on the MRC 
Program's listservs and social media.

ADDRESSES: Contestants must be a member of a local Medical Reserve 
Corps unit. Videos must be submitted between August 1, 2016 and 
September 2, 2016. Contestants may be individuals or groups. A 
contestant can submit a video for each question for up to three total 
videos. Make sure to only answer one question per video. To register 
for the Challenge, each contestant will need to create a free account 
at http://www.challenge.gov. Groups must submit an entry through a 
single designated individual or entity within the group. Contestants 
must follow submission rules found at https://www.challenge.gov/challenge/mrc-serves.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please submit an inquiry via 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MRC units consist of volunteers from all 
walks of life. We want to highlight the reasons that MRC volunteers 
join and continue to volunteer with the question, why I volunteer with 
the MRC? By answering the questions--How does MRC make my community 
healthier? and How does MRC make my community more prepared and 
resilient?--the goal is to highlight specific examples of how MRC units 
and their volunteers are making a difference. Contestants are 
encouraged to be creative when addressing these questions and sharing 
their story. The video can include other visuals such as footage or 
pictures of a MRC activity or event (see Contest Guidelines section for 
restrictions). Contestants are encouraged to wear MRC gear such as 
shirts and hats. Videos can also be submitted as a group with fellow 
MRC volunteers.

    Judges and Winner Selection: Submissions will be judged by a panel 
of MRC and other ASPR staff, qualified by training and experience, to 
evaluate submissions on the identified criteria and select the 
semifinalists. Judges will rate the semi-finalists based upon the 
judging criteria. Judges will be fair and impartial, may not have a

director, or agent of, any entity that is a registered participant in 
the competition, and may not have a familial or financial relationship 
with an individual who is a registered contestant. ASPR staff will 
select the final winners by calculating the final scores.
    Judging Criteria: Submissions will be scored by the challenge 
reviewers using the following criteria:
     Clear and consistent message/Overall impact (35 percent): 
Is the story clear, educational, inspiring, and persuasive? Does it 
motivate others to serve as MRC volunteers? Is it clear how the MRC 
impacts their community?
     Creativity and originality (25 percent): How creatively 
does the video answer the challenge question? How original is the idea?
     Production quality (25 percent): Does the video 
effectively use lighting, sound, and editing to tell the story? Is the 
dialogue clear and easy to understand? Do visual effects (if any) 
contribute to the message or detract from it?
     MRC Identity (15 percent): Does the video do a good job of 
promoting the MRC brand by showing the trademarked logo or names 
Medical Reserve Corps and MRC?
    Winners and Recognition: There will be one winner selected for each 
category for a total of up to three winners. If you are selected as a 
winner, you will need to submit your digital video file to the MRC 
Program. The winners will be announced no later than September 30, 
2016, on the MRC Program's listservs, Web site, and social media

site and social media and may also be posted to the ASPR Web site and 
social media. Winners will be invited to attend the 2017 Preparedness 
Summit where they will be recognized by MRC Program leadership and have 
their travel, lodging, and expenses covered. For group submissions that 
win, an invitation will be extended to one representative from the 
group who will be eligible to receive travel, lodging, and costs to 
attend the 2017 Preparedness Summit.
