Launching a Nonprofit Video Contest

Written by Michael Hoffman | 2009/8/20

We're no strangers to the world of video contests. Last year, our DoGooderTV Nonprofit Video Awards received over 400 videos from all types of organizations and causes.

This week, we've helped launch a video contest around one specific issue: driving smarter.

The online video contest is a new feature of the Drive Smarter Challenge fuel-efficiency campaign sponsored by the Alliance to Save Energy and 16 other diverse non-profit, governmental, trade association and for-profit partners.

I recently sat down for a Skype video interview with Gail Hendrickson from the Alliance to Save Energy. We talk about why they chose to do a video contest, what the process involves, and how they plan for success.

And for anyone with a bit of filmmaking talent, enter to win a $5,000 grand prize.
