- About the Contest
In recognition of Father’s Day, we recently held the “I Believe” Video Journal Contest for the chance to win a donated IVF cycle. To be considered for the donated cycle, we asked prospective entrants to create a video that detailed their infertility story and expressed their thoughts and emotions.
Videos could include music, photos, video, or anything else that conveyed their feelings about their struggles to conceive, their plans for the future, and their desires to complete their family. Videos could be sad, hopeful, funny, happy, sentimental, or any combination.
From all submissions, we had a panel judges from the infertility community along with our own doctors and staff select six finalists, whose videos were posted on our website for voting by the general public. On June 14, 2012, we announced three winners, who were each awarded a free IVF cycle at the SIRM center of their choice. You can view all of the videos at the links below on this page.
A special thanks to our distinguished panel of judges. They are all influential voices in the field of infertility awareness and support. Please visit their blogs/websites to learn more about their backgrounds.
