OPPORTUNITIES / AWARDS: 2009 multimedia contest

The Citizens for Global Solutions 2009 Multimedia Contest is designed for students with an interest in art, film, design, creative writing, or other multimedia and an interest in global issues. Students are welcome to work in a team.

The entry format for this year's completion is open to several electronic file-types, including but not limited to: digital video, flash animation, entire websites, online games, and spoken word audio/video submissions. We are calling on aspiring film makers, flash animators, graphic artists, poets, rappers, activists and anyone interested thinking creatively around global issues politics. We're looking for entries that can inspire, amuse and activate people out there who believe that a better world is possible.

This year's theme: Choose your Global Solution!

The idea behind this year's competition is Interactive storytelling. 1) The story or game must branch at a couple of points, and 2) the viewer/player gets to make choices about which direction to go. We want the audience to understand that today's global problems have multiple solutions -- each leading to a different potential outcome for the planet.

This contest is open to beginners! The website includes tips, links, and tutorials to help you get started.

We look forward to seeing your groups' submissions!
