Each prize winner will get their video on YouTube’s homepage on April 5th and receive $3,500 in prizes and up to $3,500 worth of great products donated by Cisco to help their organizations harness the power of human and technology networks to multiply their impact on the people and communities they serve. There are four categories:

The awards are free to enter and open to any eligible nonprofit organization in the U.S., U.K, Canada, and Australia that created video in 2011. You can take a look at the submissions so far and last year’s winners at YouTube. This is a great opportunity for organizations to shine a light on their video work and educate the community on how to use video to better communicate their issues, their stories and their work.
This year there’s also a special award being given out in each of the categories by The Case Foundation for “fearless videos, videos in which the organization takes risks, shows what they have learned from their mistakes, etc.” You can read more about fearless award here.
Good luck to all entrants! Please leave a comment if you enter so we can all watch your video.
