Don't miss the final week to enter the 4th annual Trend Micro What's Your Story? Internet safety video contest, ending April 16.

CUPERTINO, Calif., April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --


WHAT: Trend Micro's fourth annual "What's Your Story?" contest, an award-winning, user-generated video
contest that gives youth an interactive platform to showcase not just their filmmaking talents, but

storytelling.


This year, Trend Micro has eliminated contest categories and is asking contestants to answer one
question for two $10K grand prizes through their created films: What does the good side of the
Internet look like? Contestants will be judged by how well they have both demonstrated the positive
ways we use the Internet, dispelled the myths surrounding Internet dangers, as well as how effectively
they have promoted and crowd-sourced their individual entries via social media.

PRIZES: "What's Your Story?" will award two grand prizes of $10,000 - one for an individual filmmaker, and
