This video contest is pretty serious about asking you ‘What’s wrong with America?” and is trying to seek ways to turn around bad trends.
Here’s the video to urge you for participation in the contest:
To quote from the organizers:
Our goal is to start a new kind of national conversation through this video contest. This contest is not about winning iPods™ or flat-screen TVs, the stakes are much higher. This is about making your voice heard and earning a platform in our national conversation on the future, the upcoming election and beyond.
But there is a cash award too of $2000, and in certain cities $1,000 and more.
I like this video contest and the intended message.
Have a favorite ‘two wheel’ movie? Breaking Away? Easy Rider? E.T.? Wild Hogs? Now it’s time to film your own flick.
