Video Blogging to Combat Child Hunger
Fighthunger.org, the blog of the United Nations World Food Programme, recently announced the launch of what they're calling the Walk the World Viral Video Contest. They're looking for people to produce a short video (120 seconds or less) offering an upbeat message that spreads the world about ending child hunger by the year 2015, one of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Anyone 18 years old or older is welcome to submit a video, and they're encouraging users to upload their clips to either blip.tv or Ourmedia.org and tag them fhvideo.
The winning video will be used in official media campaigns of the UN World Food Programme, and the vlogger who produced the video will also be given a free trip to visit a school somewhere in the developing world where they'll get to personally experience the World Food Programme in action.
If you're interested in participating, please be sure to read the contest rules All videos submitted to the contest should use a Creative Commons Attribution - Non-Commercial - Share-Alike License. Videos must be submitted no later than December 15, 2006. So get out that camera and put together a video for a great cause! -andy
