My Story, My HMC Video Contest for Alumni

Everyone has a story.

We'd like to hear yours.

We're asking alumni to share their memories in our My Story, My HMC Video Contest, a way of giving voice to our outstanding alumni community.

If you have a compelling story about your experience at HMC, now is the chance to share it with a dynamic and vibrant video. The video should tell your story of studying at HMC and how it impacted your career and academic path. The most compelling storyteller will receive HMC-branded merchandise: the top prize is a fleece jacket, second prize is an HMC-branded eco-friendly water bottle and third prize is an HMC-branded organic cotton tote bag.

The videos will be added to the HMC website and social media platforms and used to encourage prospective students to apply to HMC, as well as inspire the next generation of alumni.

 

Deadline: 15 October 2023 at 11:59 PM GMT
