It can be a video or simply just be a presentation or a sequence of still frames to make a video.
You may choose to have a voice over or a background music for the video.

I love Steemit and the people in it and I enjoy being here, so might as well do something fun and worthwhile and helpful here. ### Note: If at any point, you need help with fixing audio or video and other technical issues as you make your piece for this contest or as you upload it, let me know by sending me a memo in the wallet or contacting me directly in Discord: mermaidvampire#4421, I'd be glad to give you tweaks and suggestions to make it work. ### Sample Video by @mermaidvampire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-OlNOgsiEg *I made this video for a fellow dialysis patient. He wanted to make a video of his life but he did not know how and he wanted to join a contest. I surprised him and made him one on the last hour before the deadline, I downloaded all his public FB pics and made something in powerpoint and saved it as an MP4. It won him the grand prize and my share was given to his mom. His parents cried watching it. I am uploading this video here with his permission.* ***JOIN, INSPIRE PEOPLE AND WIN!!!***
