2026 Eye Donation Month Video Contest

October 15, 2026

The theme for 2026 Eye Donation Month (November) is: “It Only Takes a Minute,” emphasizing how quick and easy it is to register as an eye, organ, and tissue donor after making an informed, meaningful, decision of generosity.

Video Contest

This year, we’re shifting away from photos to video! Use your creativity to create a short, vertical video showing what you can do in only a minute – the same amount of time it takes to register as an eye, organ, and tissue donor.

How the Contest Works

  • Film a short video showcasing what you can do that just takes a minute, maybe a TikTok dance with friends, a hidden talent or skill, a funny bit – use your imagination! Be sure to include the line “It Only Takes a Minute” and direct viewers to RegisterMe.org. Upload your video to YouTube and submit the form below. Videos are due by Wednesday, November 11th.
  • Winners will be chosen based on creativity, presentation, and message effectiveness.
  • Winning selections will have their video posted across EBAA’s social media platforms and receive $100 gift cards as prizes.

Submitting your video for the EBAA 2026 Eye Donation Month Video Contest grants EBAA permission to share it publicly on social media channels, websites, in digital communications, and other platforms.

Questions? Contact EBAA Director of Communications, Colleen Bayus.
