ATTN: FILMMAKERS: Right.org Announces $27,599 Anti-Bailout Video Contest:
February 20, 2009– Right.org, a new grassroots website calling on Congress to do what’s right and stop bailouts, has announced a video contest asking Americans to speak out against the bailouts. The winning submission will be awarded $27,599—one American’s share of the bailout burden. The contest also offers a second-place prize of $2,759 and five runner-up prizes of $275 Apple Store gift certificates.
Videos must be thirty seconds or less and should persuade their viewers to oppose the bailouts. Videos can be humorous, educational, and/or satirical. Above all, they ought to be creative. Submissions will be accepted between February 23 and May 25. Winners will be announced in June after selection by a panel of judges, who will choose from among the forty most-watched entries.
“Economists and Treasury Secretaries have refused to be transparent with the American people—so we’re taking the facts straight to taxpayers,” says Right.org founder Evan Baehr. “The video competition will give Americans a chance to speak out and communicate the facts and their frustration in creative ways.”

Get out your Statue of Liberty costume, LC and the video camera, you are there.
Seriously, sounds like a good idea. We all need to post the top ones on blogs.
thanks
