AT&T Announces Winners Of “Live Proud On Campus” Scholarship Contest

In August, I wrote about AT&T’s first-ever Live Proud on Campus scholarship contest.

The contest called on college students 18+ to submit a video pitch for an LGBT-supportive project they’d like to see at their schools.

The public voted on 15 semi-finalist videos, narrowing the field down to 6 finalists, and the Human Rights Campaign chose the 3 grand prize winners. To watch their submission video click on the hyperlinks.

• Amy Kelley (University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania)
• Leyth Swidan (Columbia University in New York)
• Ryan Wells (Elon University in North Carolina)

The winning projects support the LGBT community and focus on LGBT equality, visibility and/or acceptance on college campuses.

Each of the winning students will receive a $10,000 scholarship, $2,500 in funding to execute their campus project, a semester-long mentorship experience with HRC to help develop their projects, and more.

Additionally, the winners will also be flown to Washington, D.C. to attend the HRC National Dinner on Oct. 28.

But wait – there’s more! AT&T is will also contribute $25,000 to the Human Rights Campaign to support their continued efforts to uplift the LGBT community.

Big thanks to AT&T for the awesome support.

AT&T Launch 3rd Annual LIVE PROUD Campaign For Pride Month

In celebration of LGBT Pride Month and Pride season, AT&T is proud to launch the third annual “Live Proud” campaign that is centered on awareness, empowerment and most importantly, pride.

For many individuals, living openly and stating “This is Me” can be challenging. That’s why AT&T has designed the Live Proud campaign this year to provide a platform for everyone to have their voices heard.

The LGBT community and beyond can take part in this campaign by creating a unique 15 seconds-or-less “This is Me” video and uploading it to the AT&T Live Proud website at ATT.com/LiveProud to enter the AT&T “This is Me” Sweepstakes.

Of the videos submitted, four lucky winners will be selected at random to win a trip for two to New York City and two tickets to OUT100.

From June 1 through August 9, participants can join the movement in the following ways:

• “Like” the AT&T Live Proud Facebook page by visiting ATT.com/LiveProud and join us in celebrating LGBT awareness, empowerment and pride.

• Create a 15 seconds-or-less ‘This is Me’ video that tells the world about how you live proud in your everyday life and profession.
• Upload your unique Live Proud ‘This is Me’ video to the ATT.com/LiveProud website and enter the AT&T “This is Me” Sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip for two to New York City and two tickets to OUT100 (Go to ATT.com/LiveProud for official rules and to enter)
