Kelly Johnson, a recent Wichita State graduate, has become a top-five finalist for UMB Bank's regional video contest, which will award the winner $20,000 and a trip to New York City. Second and third place winners will be awarded $10,000 and $5,000, respectively. His video, "The More You Do," now needs viewer votes to make the top three.

Amy DeVault, assistant professor in the Elliott School of Communication, had Johnson in class last semester and is his faculty sponsor for the contest.

"Kelly is a gem -- talented and humble. I'd love to see him rewarded for his creativity and hard work," said DeVault.
