You may have heard us mention (in)RL a couple times by now. We are pretty excited about it and we hope you are, too!
If you are new to hearing about (in)RL, we’re bring an (in)courage conference to life! Well, better to think of it as an un-conference, since we’re hoping it will be all kinds of unexpected- no waiting lists, no need for plane tickets, no limited number of spots- everyone is (in) and no one’s out with (in)RL. {You can sign up to register and host a meetup here}. And if you missed the (in)RL Trailer, check it out here.
Saturday, April 28th will be a day full of (in)courage meetups – think mini beach house parties – all around the country and globe and a webcast for everyone to tune into. Just imagine thousands of (in)courage women all over the world getting together in homes, coffee shops, restaurants, or churches – you name it- to connect in real life.
We’ll have a variety of video tracks pre-recorded so that your meet-up can tune in any time of the day to our webcast without worrying about time zones and watch as many of the videos as you’d like.
We would like to invite you to be a part of one of our (in)RL videos!
We’re looking for video submissions that reflect what community means to you. Here are the details for video submissions:
- Focus on Community: We would like for you to share what community looks like in your life. Whether you think of it as belonging, support, friendship, family.. or you’ve been hurt and then healed by community.. we want you to share it with us.
- Group or Individual submissions welcome: We’re really leaving the content of the video up to you. You know We want you to get creative and just be yourself! And grab a friend or two and make it a group effort {it is all about community, after all!}.
- 10-15 Minutes: Video submission should be 10-15 minutes long.
- Amateurs Welcome: This does not need to be done with a professional camera. We’re looking for real, genuine footage here.. using your regular camcorder or video recording feature on your camera will work just fine {no video submissions from a camera phone, please}.
- Script, Shoot, Edit, Submit: We’re looking for finished, polished submissions. Your work on our webcast – how cool would that be!
- Deadline: What do you think? Are you interested? Deadline for all submissions is February 14th, 2012. A team at (in)courage and DaySpring will sort through the submissions and choose one to be a part of the (in)RL webcasts.
- Submit your Entry: Please upload your submission to Vimeo and then fill out this (in)RL Video Submission Agreement Form. Here you’ll be able to insert a link to your entry on Vimeo.
- Win! The winning selection – in addition to having your video join the (in)RL line up – will win a $250 cash prize and a $250 store credit shopping spree to DaySpring.com. Winners will be chosen based on creativity, originality, and an expression of community that resonates with the heart of (in)courage and the hope of (in)RL.
- Announcing the Winner! The winner of the video submission contest will be announced on March 5th, 2012.

Shelly says
How fun! This is so exciting! Already jotting down my ideas! Cannot wait for April 28th! Love the tee! Ok. I think I have reverted to a teenager. My use of exclamation points is, well, scary. And the fragmented sentences? Enough to drive any grammar teacher mad! Oh well! I must go call my girls and tell them they are going to be in a video!

Bernice Shupe says
I thought I had registered a couple months ago – the first day, in fact. I would like to host the meeting on April 28th in my home between Elkton and Bad Axe, MI. I have heard nothing from you. They say, there is no record of me. Perhaps you could tell me what to do next. Thank you! Blessings for the New Year! 🙂
Lisa-Jo @thegypsymama says
Hey there Bernice – can you shoot us an email at incourage@dayspring.com so we can help you figure it out. Thanks!
