   In addition to the sample video on this website, here are other ideas to get you going:
   1. An educational video on diabetes using a Lenny mask
   2. A story of living with diabetes through a collection of photos in video format featuring 'Flat Lenny'
   3. A video of Lenny teaching children Carb Counting
   4. A story about Lenny going to school, playing sports, or doing other activities while wearing an insulin pump
      
      

   Remember:

   • Please focus on stories about diabetes and daily life activities and not specific functions or operations of the insulin pump. Videos showing specific pump features and functions will be disqualified.
   • Videos must be geared towards the diabetes pediatric community (appropriate for viewing by children and adults)
   • Videos must incorporate the Lenny the Lion props provided on this website
   • Videos that receive the most votes win (see details below). Be as creative as you like and remember to make them memorable, funny and catchy!
