The winners of the second annual Spotlight! Payments Video Challenge, sponsored by Nacha’s Payments Innovation Alliance, are in!

The contest invited videos of up to one minute focusing on the theme “Take a Stand Against Scammers.” The short video contest provides an opportunity to broaden the ecosystem messaging and reach consumers more quickly through educational pieces that are developed by a wide range of contributors that can be amplified through social media. All of the videos contain original content.

The 2025 top prize of $5,000 goes to Marcius Parks for his music video  “It’s a Scam” featuring the refrain, “Don’t be brainless, protect your payments.” Parks also won the Sponsor's Choice Award, selected by members of the Payments Innovation Alliance, earning an additional $1,500.
