Health care. Education. Foreign policy. What would you like to ask the president about the most important issues our country faces? Go to youtube.com/askobama to submit your question now, or watch the speech Tuesday night with your webcam or video camera nearby so that you can record and submit your question as soon as it strikes you. This year, you’ll also be able to ask your question via Twitter: Just include the hashtag #askobama in your Tweet. And be sure to have your say in what should be asked by voting on questions submitted by others, too.

A few suggestions before submitting your questions:

Video questions are highly preferred (though we also accept text). Videos should be about 20 seconds long and be sure to ask the question directly.

Speak clearly and try to film in a place with minimal background noise. Keep the camera as still as possible.

Feel free to be creative (use props, charts, etc.) to help your question stand out. If you have time, find an interesting backdrop that may help reinforce your message.

Submit your question early. The final deadline is Wednesday, Jan. 26, at midnight ET.
