Democracy Video Challenge
16 September 2008
Tell us what democracy is to you and win an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles! The U.S. Department of State and YouTube invite you to submit your short video that completes the phrase "Democracy is…" between now and 31 January 2009. The winners of the global video challenge -- one from each continent -- will travel to the United States. If your video is chosen, you will see your creation on the big screen at gala events in all three cities. You will also have the chance to meet with filmmakers, democracy activists, and other people who want to hear your story.
Anyone 18 or older can submit a video of any style. Rules are posted here and on www.videochallenge.america.gov. The world awaits your democracy story -- share it with us!
