Can your final project pay for a trip to DC, New York, and Hollywood?

Yes, it can! You might win an "all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., New York and Hollywood" with your final project.

If you are still looking for a final project idea, here is your chance.

State Department’s Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP) has a video challenge, where you are expected to complete the phrase "Democracy is...." with a short video of 3 minutes. You are free to use any story telling style including, fiction, documentary, comedy, music video or animation.

The six publicly identified winners, (one each from the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Middle East/North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South & Central Asia, East Asia/Pacific), will travel to the United States to claim their prize in the fall of 2010.
