IGNITE CHANGE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE "SPARK THE VOTE" SOCIAL MEDIA & FILM CHALLENGE

CALLING ALL CITIZENS: STUDENTS, FILMMAKERS, MUSICIANS, INFLUENCERS, ARTISTS, ACTIVISTS, DANCERS, EDUCATORS, AND MORE

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Why Do You Vote? Social Action Campaign is thrilled to announce that the "Spark the Vote" Social Media & Film Challenge is now open for submissions. The Challenge is an exciting opportunity for individuals nationwide to showcase their creativity and passion for civic engagement.

We invite everyone—students, filmmakers, musicians, influencers, artists, activists, dancers, educators, and more—to participate in this Challenge for a chance to WIN UP TO $50,000 in cash prizes.

Ten awards of $5,000 each will be given to the best videos highlighting various issues. Whether you're passionate about climate, equality, voting, or democracy-this Challenge is for YOU! There are also awards for best song and dance video. Since this Challenge is for social media, humor and fun will help ignite the message.

“The idea is to use the power of creative storytelling, sharing brief, personal stories to engage your circle to care enough to join you in voting for what you care about.” Executive Director Holly Mosher says, “I get really excited thinking about the creative videos people will come up with that will move others to vote.”

Grab some friends or family, as Ed Begley Jr. did with his daughter Hayden Begley, to encourage voting for Our Climate, or make a video on your own. Your creations can then be posted on social media and submitted to the Challenge. Whether you're a seasoned social media expert or just someone who enjoys filming on your phone, we welcome participants of all ages and levels of experience.

Submissions for the #SparkChallenge are due by September 15th—Democracy Day—and the weekend before National Voter Registration Day. The Challenge is strategically designed to inspire people to register to vote and engage in civic life. It's more than a contest; it's a fun, creative, and engaging exercise in civic responsibility.

We're working behind the scenes to connect with students, educators, non-profits, filmmakers, and other potential participants, all to inspire more people to vote on issues that unite us.
