The American Humanist Association, EvolveFISH, and Rational Response have teamed up to bring the positive message of Humanism to YouTube!
And you're just the person to help make it happen.
Participation is simple. No matter what your age, and whether or not you're a member of a Humanist organization, you are eligible to participate if you have a North American street address. All you need do is create a short Web video presenting a positive vision of Humanism and upload it to YouTube by the contest deadline of Thursday, May 3, 2007 -- the National Day of Reason in the United States.
Please include the Happy Humanist logo at least once in the piece, preferably at the beginning and end. You can use video, FLASH, animation -- whatever you like -- as long as it can be uploaded to YouTube.
A diverse team of judges will then determine the best video of all qualified entries. The winner will receive a prize of $500 and have her or his video displayed on the website of the American Humanist Association. The video will also be shown at the AHA National Conference in Portland, Oregon, June 7-10, 2007. The second place winner will receive a prize of $300, the third place winner $100. Those receiving an honorable mention will each be sent a Humanist book. Winners will be announced by June 1, 2007.
Instructions
Once you've shot your positive Humanist vision video, take these two easy steps:
1. Load your video onto YouTube with the tag HumanistVision.
2. When the video appears on YouTube, send its URL to the e-mail address HumanistVision@americanhumanist.org. Also include a complete North American mailing address so we can send your prize money if you are a winner. (Sorry, those using addresses from other continents are NOT eligible.) We will post entries on our YouTube site so others can view them.
