NTC Video Contest


See how video can change the world. Several very cool nonprofit/social change related videos and PSAs can be found on the NTEN website or at dogooder.tv. Register (free) and you can vote for the best. Here is a partial list of what's up there:

Green Day + NRDC: Be Part of the Solution
Free Hugs Campaign
Robert Cray “Twenty” music video
I'm Sorry Darfur
The Bio Da Versity Code
Irene's Story, Heifer International
Urgent Climate Wake Up Call, Avaaz.org
Close Guantanamo Bay! Amnesty International USA

Grassroots Action, Get Loud! Darfurby
Shining a Light on HIV, STOP AIDS Project

The Free Hugs/Peace on Earth campaign won in the "big event," the YouTube awards (most inspirational category) and the Free Geek video makes you want to get up and volunteer.

Of course, for powerful examples of video changing the world, check out WITNESS - an NGO that teaches people to use video to document human rights abuses.
