The first place $5,000 went to SELCO members Marshall and Haley Roemen with their video entitled “Grow With Us,” which depicted a young girl earning her first dollars at a lemonade stand.

The second place $3,500 award went to Elliot Heine for his untitled video that compared credit unions and banks. The third place $1,500 prize went to Dustin Dybevik of Dedo De Luna Productions for his “Can You Thank Your Bank?” video, featuring a preschooler with a guitar rapping the various differences between banks and credit unions.

The three grand prizes were selected through online voting at the selco.org website. SELCO members and the community at large were invited to participate in voting. More than 2,500 votes were received by the end of the voting period on June 6, 2008.

In addition to the winners selected by community voting, the SELCO Marketing Team gave additional recognition to five videos that they felt warranted special attention. Those five “Director’s Choice Award” winners received $200 cash prizes. The winners and their categories are as follows: the award for “Most Romantic” went to Henry Weintraub of 531 Productions for his video “SELCO Likes You Too;” the award for “Funniest” went to Roxana Trejo & Jose Gomez for their commercial titled “Recession is a Choice;” the award for “Best Choreography” went to Chris Kas for the video entitled “Hoop Happiness”; the award for “Best Use of the Word ‘Sizzle’ (the tagline for the contest)” went to Coty Werner for his “SELCO BBQ” video; and the award for the “Best Product Reference” went to Sarah Dodson of Bright Fauna Productions for the commercial titled “Meet the SELCO Crew.” See the "Director's Choice" winners here!
