 The Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, in conjunction with the Adobe Foundation, launched an online video contest last week.
The interactive Video Contest is intended to promote the new ECA social networking website http://connect.state.gov. People all over the world ages 14 and older are invited to submit videos, no longer than three minutes in length, containing any form of artistic expression. Videos will be judged on originality, creativity, effectiveness, and production quality.
Four winners will be selected. International winners will be eligible for a two-week all-expenses paid exchange trip to the United States; the American winners will receive the same to an overseas destination.
The contest is open to the general public worldwide and runs from December 1, 2008 through January 26, 2009.
