2007 Global Solutions Flash Contest

Citizens for Global Solutions is holding a contest for students, budding artists, multi-media designers, and activists who are interested in making some cool flash videos.  The top contenders will be published on their website and the top three entries will get cash ($500-$2000 cash prizes). They’re looking for short flash movies that can inspire, amuse and activate people out there who believe a better world is possible.

Contest Theme
Let’s face it, most of the news we get about the rest of the world is pretty scary. The media tends to focus on wars, conflicts, and disasters and tends not to focus on solutions. Thinking globally and acting locally is about NOT being afraid of the world. It’s about thinking of yourself as a global citizen. And it’s about taking positive action for change. Think about a global problem you care about. Why do you care about it? Is there something you can do from your own home or community to help (in big ways or small) to solve the problem?

To learn more visit the Global Solutions Flash contest site or you may download a printer friendly version of the rules. You can view entries from last year’s contest on the Global Solutions 2006 finalists page. Last year, Valencia Community College Interactive Design student, Mandy Bonilla, placed in the top 20 out of over 9000 participants.
