Center for Inquiry announces “Free Expression” video contest

The right to freely express oneself is vital in a modern society. The Center for Inquiry would like you to tell the world why. As part of the Center for Inquiry’s ongoing Campaign for Free Expression,
CFI has announced the launch of a Public Service Announcement Video Contest.

This campaign seems geared toward drawing a positive and appealing message about free expression, asking entrants to develop a 30-60 second public service announcement explaining why free expression is important. Important to the entrant, important to a free society, important to human rights . . . the focus rests with the entrant.

Participation is easy: create a short public service announcement-style video about the importance of free expression, upload the video to YouTube, and tag it with “Campaign for Free Expression Video Contest”. Videos must be submitted by September 20th, 2010, and on International Blasphemy Rights Day, September 30th, 2010, CFI will announce the top three winners.

The first place winner will receive $2,000! Second and third place winners will receive $1,000 and $500, respectively.

Please see the full instructions and rules before creating your entry.

Help spread the word! Find the Campaign for Free Expression on Facebook.
