Project for Awesome

Submitted by Holly on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 2:53pm

I am a child of a certain time and place, a time and place where "dude" and "awesome" were considered perfectly acceptable words.  I've weaned myself of "dude" -- except in reference to The Dude, of course -- but I can't kick my "awesome" habit.  

Fortunately, neither can the vlogbrothers. This week, they're launching the second Project for Awesome, in association with YouTube. Your challenge? Make a video asking your friends, colleagues, college roommates, and people on the street to support a cause you care about.  The brothers will be guest-editing the YouTube homepage to feature their favorite submissions, and your video could be among them.

Oh, and if you make the video in your house, don't forget to get a shot of the rug: it really ties the room together.
