FIRST VIDEO CONTEST FOR 2012
 Chicago, Illinois - PNA Vice President Paul
C. Odrobina announces that the PNA will conduct our First
Video Contest 2012 sponsored by PNA Sports and Youth
Department.
The theme of the contest is, "PNA".
The video could be about anything: a special event, something
humorous, something musical, or something totally out of
the ordinary, as long as it is original and shows what PNA means
to you from your perspective.
Submissions of the contest will run from
June 1, 2012
through September 30, 2012. Entries must postmarked no later
than the October 15th to make the deadline. All video

Judges, who will select the top ten (10) entries. The
selected top ten videos will be posted on the PNA
website starting on October 15, 2012 thru November 15, 2012. Members
and guest who visit the PNA website will be able to vote for
their favorite videos via a special email address and select
their top 3 choices. The Panel of Judges will also select their
top three choices. The top three videos selected by the email
