October 2nd is the official launch of Vote It Forward Festival (ViFF) an online film festival seeking short viral videos to encourage people to get out and vote. And we're handing out awards for the best virals. These videos can be vblogs, editorial commentary, music-themed, satirical, spoken word, or testimonial. Just as long as they bring to light the importance of exercising our Democratic voice. We want to hear from you!
ViFF will be awarding $500 awards and a featured spot on our site to at least 10 viral videos throughout the month of October. At the start of November, ViFF will award one video with a $1,000 grand prize.
So spread the word to friends, family, and associates who might be interested and tell them to check us out at Vote It Forward Festival (ViFF)
Guidelines & Tips
-VIFF will no longer be accepting submissions after the deadline of November 3, 2012! (Save The Date.)
-Your original vblogs, skits, testimonials, spoken word performances or animated shorts must be between 1-3 minutes in length. However, if it’s compelling, captivating and any other adjective that starts with “c”, then we’ll take it. As much as we want you to be creative, please stick to the topic of voting.
