If you've taken some risks with your organization's video work this year, great news: thanks to The Case Foundation, the DoGooder Nonprofit Video Awards will be adding a special category for "Fearless" videos. Here's the official announcement:
For six years now, the DoGooder Nonprofit Video Awards has been putting the spotlight on all the different ways that nonprofits use video. The contest is all about moving the field of nonprofit video forward and encouraging cause video creators to try new styles and strive to make their work different.
Different is just what The Case Foundation is looking for in this year's contest. Did you experiment? Take risks? Did you highlight a failure from your past that's helping shape the future? Share a big idea that will inspire others to dream big? Were you... Fearless? If so, the Case Foundation wants to reward your organization! This year, the Case Foundation is awarding one $2,500 grant to the organization with the most fearless video in each of the four categories, as selected by a panel of special judges.
Think of this special prize as an honorable mention to recognize those nonprofit video creators who aren’t afraid to deviate from the norm, use innovative approaches, and fearlessly tell compelling, honest stories that are from the heart rather than marketing talking points. Fearless video means taking risks for the sake of creating moving content that inspires the viewer. Nonprofits of all sizes are fearlessly making new and interesting video and we want to see more!
These special videos will be announced by See3 Communications and the Case Foundation at the end of the contest. There’s no better time than right now to enter your video to win great prizes like these special grants from the Case Foundation as well as cash prizes and products from Cisco, free registrations to next year’s Nonprofit Technology Conference from NTEN and your video on the YouTube homepage on April 5th.
