High school videographers will have a chance to showcase their work in the My Home Town video contest organized by the University of La Verne. The contest, also hosted by La Verne Community Television LVTV-3 and San Dimas Community Television KWST, asks students in high schools of 14 cities to submit a video about their communities.

The cities are Azusa, Montclair, Claremont, San Dimas, Ontario, La Verne, Claremont, Diamond Bar, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Glendora, Diamond Bar, Covina and West Covina.

The video submissions should be five minutes or less and can be about what you love/hate about your community, the strange/interesting characters who live there or the historic/haunted places that mark the town. The deadline is Sept. 30.

There's cash prizes for the top three winners ($250, $125, $75). The top submissions will be aired on public access television stations and shown at an Oct. 10 screening at University of La Verne.
