We need your creative minds to come up with a fun and creative new name for Youth Ambassador Program (YAP). BONUS: $50 gift card is up for grabs! Is it yours?

[TRANSCRIPT & DESC: Renca Dunn is standing in the center with a dark blue YAP polo shirt.

Hey! We need your help! For what? To give the Youth Ambassador Program (YAP) competition a new name!

(A red text box with a white title appeared on-screen: we need your help!)
(A blue text box with a white title appeared on-screen: Youth Ambassador Program needs a new name!)

Black and white clip of Renca as a different character who is doing the deaf claps.

Whoooo!

First, some background. YAP is a pitch-

Black and white clip of Renca as a different character who is acted as a baseball pitcher. (baseball fans cheering)

-- No, not that kind of pitch.

(An orange text box with a white title appeared on-screen: PITCH YOUR IDEA!)

It’s a pitch competition, where you can share an idea with us. This competition is for deaf and hard of hearing youth, aged 18-30-

(A dark yellow text box with a black title appeared on-screen: 18-30)

Black and white clip of Renca as a different character who raised her hands and pointed at herself, "me!"

Oooh! Me! Me!

Sorry, you are already over 30...

This competition is to bring the contestants’ vision to life and possibly win prize money!

Black and white clip of Renca as a different character who is waving herself with bills as the camera zoom into her face with sparkle effects on the right side of the screen.

Contestants will compete against each other at the NAD Conference to pitch the best idea of a social issue, business idea, or a startup concept.

(Four textboxes in different colors appeared all over the screen with different white text: “social issue”, “business idea”, “startup concept”, and “and more!”)

For example, it can be establishing a mentorship program, setting up a new event planning company, or even a creation of a new product. The winner will receive prize money to invest in their idea!

Now, back to you -- (a faded red text appeared on-screen: we need you!) we need your help! We want YOU (any age!) - 0 to 100, or even 120, to rename our pitch competition, from YAP to a fun creative name!

(A blue text box with a white title appeared on-screen: YAP. A white arrow then pointed to a green text box with white title: “a fun creative name!”)

Once we’ve collected all your suggested names, we’ll do a tournament style voting on IG story! May the best name idea win!

Anyway, the cool part? The BONUS. Once you suggest a name, you get a “ticket,” or if you suggest five names then you get five “tickets.” For what? To enter a raffle drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card! (A black icon of a gift card with a black text, “$50 gift card! Appeared on the top right of the screen)
