Right.org: $27,599 Anti-Bailout Video Competition

Say NO to Bailouts. Submit a video. Win $27,599.

That's the heading at Right.Org's website and it's legit. A new grassroots website is calling on Congress to stop the bailouts and has started a video contest to help with their efforts.

You are probably as upset about the bailouts as we are. Well, Washington isn't listening, so let's turn up the volume. Come up with an idea, grab a camera, and send us your best 30-second video opposing government bailouts.

Be creative. Make us laugh. Teach us. Above all, make us oppose the bailouts. The person or team that submits the "best video" will win $27,599 - one person's personal bailout burden.

The prize:
first place: $27,599
second place: $2,759
5 runners-up: $275 Apple Store gift certificates

Video length: 30 seconds

Theme
: "Why you oppose the bailouts."

Competition time frame: February 23 - May 25 (3 months)

Judging criteria: a panel of judges will select the winner from among the top 20 most viewed videos (more details soon)

Submission: upload through Right.org's video upload application,
available February 23rd
