Create something fun. Share financial knowledge that makes an impact.
ProFed Credit Union is inviting students, creators, and community members across Northeast Indiana to turn real-life money moments into short, creative videos that help others make smarter financial choices.
This isn’t about being an expert. It’s about sharing what you know, what you’ve learned, or what you wish someone had told you sooner — all in about 30 seconds.
Show how you keep track of money, plan, or avoid overspending.
Share simple ways you stretch your money day to day.
Focus on pausing, thinking, and choosing intentionally.
Your personal approach to staying financially steady.
Creative, real-life problem solving.
Money lessons for school, work, and early independence.
Great. These categories are meant to guide you, not box you in. If your idea still fits the spirit of financial wellness, education, and helping others make better choices, you’re encouraged to run with it. The most memorable videos often come from unexpected angles. You get to decide the story you tell.
Once your video is completed, please email your video file or link to [email protected], and include the following:

Video Entry Submission Deadline:
March 31 at 11:59 PM EST
You may submit multiple entries, but each must be sent separately and meet all requirements. Incomplete submissions may be disqualified.
Winning videos will be announced on May 1, 2026.
As an added bonus, during April, while our community watches and votes on “Don’t Break the Bank” videos, ProFed will highlight a local charity and donate up to $500. Weekly donation amounts will be determined by the number of “Likes” we receive — each vote or “Like” equals $1, up to $500. Each featured organization will also receive a short spotlight sharing who they are and why their mission matters.
The charities featured during this initiative include:
At the end of the four-week voting period, on May 1, 2026, ProFed will announce the winners for the video contest via email and social media. In addition to earning top honors, the winning participant from “Public’s Favorite” will have the opportunity to choose their favorite charitable organization recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a public or private school, college, or university. ProFed will then make an additional $250 donation to the winner's selected organization.
*Additional Requirements for Participants Under 18: A parent or legal guardian must review and agree to the Official Rules before a minor submits an entry. Entries are not complete until ProFed receives and verifies parental/guardian consent. Videos will not be reviewed, judged, or posted until this consent is confirmed. Rules about consent, privacy, and use of a minor’s name, image, and likeness apply throughout the Official Rules. After winners are selected, ProFed will verify age and ensure any winner under 18 has a signed parental/guardian release form.
