(ASQ: Milwaukee) -- The American Society for Quality (ASQ), the global voice of quality, is gearing up for the 2011 World Quality Month celebration in November with the launch this week of the YouQ video contest—asking people passionate about quality to show how quality tools have made a positive impact in their workplaces and communities.

Participants can upload their videos through Oct. 31, 2011, on ASQ’s Facebook page. Individual and team submissions, as well as submissions from throughout the world, are encouraged.

The contest is designed to raise the voice of quality, strengthen connections within the global quality community, and showcase the impact of quality worldwide. The contest will help participants share quality insights and ideas, and present new solutions to challenges.

Viewers who “like” ASQ on Facebook will vote on videos and select the winners during World Quality Month, an annual celebration of quality and its impact on the world. Winners of the YouQ video contest will be announced in December.

Prizes for the YouQ video contest include an Apple iPad 2 with Wi-Fi and 3G, and a 64GB iPod Touch.
