The Proposal for the SRU Lip Sync Battle CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

Brandon Quinn lip syncing at the first Lip Sync Battle in the Smith Center.

Jill Lema, the graduate assistant for Programing at the Smith Student Center, created the lip sync battles that have been held once each month in the new student union. The first ever lip sync battle was held during common hour on September 15th in which Logan Steigerwalt, the president of SGA, won the battle against Brandon Quinn, the president of UPB. Lema's inspiration for this event came from watching it on Spike TV and decided to bring it to SRU's campus for students and faculty to be apart of during the busy semesters. 

The final battle, The Lip Sync Battle Championships, will be held on Tuesday November 17th during common hour in the lobby of the Smith Student Center. This event is news worthy because this is the first semester this event has been happening on campus and this final battle of the semester is the championships. All the winners from each lip sync battle that has occurred this semester will be battling off against each other for the championship to be crowned the best at lip syncing. 

This story could be told using a "thinglink" information tagged video by linking different videos of popular lip sync battles from TV shows to go along with a video of the lip sync battle that will be happening on Tuesday. Linking interviews from students who watched the SRU lip sync battle would be appropriate for this project as well along with interviews from the lip syncers themselves because it would be interesting to see what they thought of the competition. 

The contact for this event is Jill Lema because she's hosting the event again and came up with the idea for the event herself.
