The Organizing For America team has launched an amateur video competition and the winning spot will land on national TV. To quote Natalie Foster, the New Media Director at OFA:
"This is your chance -- you ingenious, insightful, funny people out there -- to make a 30-second ad telling the story about why the status quo has got to go, or explaining how the Obama plan will ensure we get the secure, quality care we need without breaking the budget.
The top submissions will be voted on by the public and a panel of experts, with the winning ad aired on national television. This is your opportunity to add your voice and creativity to the debate, get some great exposure for your work, and make a huge difference."
I like this idea, though I am reminded of the Obama campaign's "T's by the People" contest about this time last year, which fizzled out sans winner once the submission deadline passed. (NOT that I have a chip on my shoulder about it, or anything...)
This contest ends on October 18th.
