In order to both raise public awareness in election fraud and prevent it from occurring in the first place, the Voter Integrity Project is sponsoring a video contest with $1,000 in cash prizes and three brand new Flip cameras.

Purpose

This election season, political forces on both sides of the partisan divide have been documented committing significant vote fraud and voter suppression. These activities negate the votes of law-abiding voters. The VIP video contest is a chance for citizens to sound off and fight back... and, in the process, win some cold hard cash and cool gadgets.

Prizes

  • 1ST PLACE: $750 & a brand new Flip camera
  • 2ND PLACE: $250 & a brand new Flip camera
  • 3RD PLACE: a brand new Flip camera

Guidelines

The contest's scope is broad. VIP is looking for both ideas and action, both theory and practice. Acceptable submissions include (but are in no way limited to):

  • Rants or demonstrations on how election fraud threatens the democratic process
  • Documented instances of election fraud in practice or other suspicious election-related activity
  • Any combination of the two

Thinking outside-the-box, being creative and showcasing talents are all highly recommended. One might dress up, go out in public, dance, sing a song, or present a short narrative. Those with more serious personalities may video their vote, ask voters questions about the election process, or document a poll-watching experience. Perhaps even some real investigative work. Ultimately, anything that helps protect the integrity of voting.

Requirements

  • Submissions ought to be under 3 minutes (although longer videos will still be accepted)
  • All submissions must be uploaded to YouTube. Leave a comment with a link to the video or email the URL to info@samadamsalliance.org.
  • DEADLINE: Tuesday, November 25th @ MIDNIGHT. (Why three whole weeks after the election? Election fraud often continues well after election day...)
