NEC VIDEO CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED!
Chrisman High School Rises Above 200 Schools to Win 25 NEC VT47 Projectors
Chicago, October 5, 2005 –
Over the summer teachers and students from kindergarten through 12
th
grade
were busy developing and submitting creative two-minute videos to NEC. These videos demonstrated how
display technology would positively affect learning in their classroom, with the best video winning 25 NEC
VT47 projectors for their school. The public voted for their favorite video between September 26-30, 2005
on NEC’s website (
www.necvisualsystems.com
), and the overwhelming winner is William Chrisman High
School in Independence, Missouri!
“When we found out that we won, everyone was so excited you could actually hear cheering from all the
way down the hall!” said Nathan Mooney, chemistry teacher at Chrisman High School, who along with
fellow teacher Jim Schaffer created the winning video. “We are going to be able to use these projectors in so
many ways; we can’t wait to get our hands on them! We are so proud of our school and want to thank NEC
for making Chrisman an even better school.”
The winning video cleverly rearranged the lyrics of a pop song to highlight the multiple uses of an NEC
projector. This song was sung by various teachers and students throughout the school and was accompanied
on guitar by their mascot the Chrisman Bear. View the winning video at

The top five videos, selected from over 200 quality videos are: Chanute High School in Chanute, Kansas,
Freeport High School from Sarver, Pennsylvania, John Tucker Elementary School from Redmond, Oregon,
Marshall Middle School from Marshall, Virginia and William Chrisman High School in Independence,
Missouri. Over 8000 votes were submitted and Chrisman High School came out on top, winning 25 NEC
projectors with a total value of over $21,000!
