UPDATE!  DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR CONTEST 

Because of several requests for more time, we here at the Movement Vision Lab have decided to extend the deadline to Monday, March 10th at 5 PM EST!  We're expecting some fabulous entries!

$1000 Video Contest:  Community Values & Immigration

We're excited to announce our first-ever video contest at the Movement Vision Lab on Community Values and Immigration.  Watch this video to learn more:

We know that, as a country and as a world, we're all in it together and we're more than the sum of our parts.  That goes for both sides of the border.  What would it mean to value everyone equally, no matter where they come from and how they got here?  How would you tell America that immigration is about Community Values?

TO ENTER

Create a short video under three minutes (3 mins) in length and submit it through You Tube to the Community Values & Immigration Video Contest.  Your video can be fictional or documentary, live action or animation, any form you want it to take.  Just make sure it tells a positive story about the immigration and Community Values.  To learn more about Community Values, check out this short film. 

The deadline for entries is 5:00pm EST on February 29, 2008.
 

CRITERIA & PRIZE

The winner will be selected by the staff of the Movement Vision Lab (with no right of appeal) and announced on the Movement Vision Lab website and You Tube.  The winning film, as well as runners up, will be shown on the Movement Vision Lab website and distributed to immigrant rights organizations across the United States.  The winning filmmaker will receive a check for $1000 from the Center for Community Change. 

 
We reserve the right to remove from the contest videos that contain defamatory or obscene content or that invade the privacy of third parties or that contain racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable content according to the sole opinion of staff of the Center for Community Change.
