NMI Creativity Contest
Purpose: Showcase and celebrate each individual church’s creative involvement in NMI, specifically through implementation of the Five Areas of Impact: Praying, Engaging Children & Youth, Care & Connection, Giving to Alabaster, Giving to WEF.
How to Enter: Submit a one-minute vertical video showing how your church creatively participated in ONE of the Five Areas of Impact; Keep the emphasis on strong VISUALS; Words can be present but they will not be translated for our global audience.
Process: Local churches will submit videos in their region’s Nubo folder:
USA/Canada: https://nubo.nazarene.org/index.php/s/fCryCp4XCGLSEN6
Videos must be entered under the correct region and labeled in this way: District – town and local church name (without Church of the Nazarene) – area of impact featured with NO dashes, slashes, or punctuation. (Ex: The Willowwood Church of the Nazarene in Denton, Texas, on the West Texas District would enter their video featuring WEF this way:
WestTexasDentonWillowwoodWEF).
District Presidents will choose a committee (which could be the district council) to judge their district’s videos and select one winning video for each of the Five Areas of Impact. Winning videos will receive the District NMI Impact Award certificate. DPs will celebrate the five winning videos and submit them to their regional NMI coordinator via Nubo. Regional Coordinators will work with Regional Global Council reps to choose a committee to
judge the videos and select one winning video for each of the Five Areas of Impact.
Winning videos will receive the Regional NMI Impact Award certificate. RCs will celebrate the five winning videos and submit them to Global NMI via Nubo.
Global NMI will work with Communications to format the winning videos for viewing at the
2027 Global Convention, where Global Convention delegates will vote for the top video in each
category. The winning videos will receive the Global NMI Impact Award certificate and trophy and the local church, district, and region of each winning video will be recognized and celebrated
during the Global Convention.
