Moveon.org Launches Obama Video Ad Contest

Posted by Jenn Lowther

Moveon.org has just launched a new ad contest to see who can make the best political ad for Barack Obama - Obama in 30 seconds. They are asking all “filmmakers, writers, directors, actors, editors, composers, graphic artists, and animators: Whether you’re a total amateur or a total pro, now is the time to use your creativity to help Barack Obama win.” The winning ad will be aired nationally and will receive $20,000 in video equipment.

This campaign is drawing on the huge internet support that has surrounded Obama’s campaign thus far - youbama.com, the two Will.i.am videos, Obama Girl, the list goes on. So get your camera’s out, come up with a great concept, get involved, and get seen.

This is the second time that they have run an ad campaign like this, the first was in 2004 when they ran Bush in 30 Seconds. The entries they received were awesome (well if you’re not a fan of Bush they are) and the winning ad was one of the most viewed ads of all time.
