I made the top 20 in the FNBO challenge!

Basically FNBO Direct held a competition asking you to make a 60 second video explaining what you were saving for and what obstacles you were facing.

I got my film-making buddy and we got to work…


By being selected as a semi-finalist I won $500 (which I am going to split with my buddy of course) and now I have to fill out some forms and do an interview to see if I make it as a finalist. The top 5 finalists will get their savings matched (up to $5000) over the next 7 months.

I will let everyone know if I make it as a finalist!

Man, that was very nicely done and very professional. The soundtrack (voice and music) and the video could easily compete with many high budget commercials out there. Good job and I hope you win!

@Christian Finance
Yea, thanks to you! I heard about it from your site! I had a phone interview with them today and they asked how I found about the contest and made sure to tell them, so maybe they will reconsider your entry ;)
