Do you have a clever way of explaining the benefits of limited government? Or an amusing way of illustrating the failure of intervention, especially to other students and young people? Do you think you can explain economic concepts in easy-to-understand terms? Do you think you have what it takes to create a "viral" video for freedom? The Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P) invites you to enter our free market video contest. The rules are simple: We're looking for persuasive and educational videos, ideally less than three minutes long. Since we hope the winning videos will get wide distribution, and one of our main goals is to market these videos to students as part of our economic education project, we suggest you avoid anything overly risqué. But otherwise be creative and entrepreneurial. Regarding topics, the videos should illustrate the importance of free-markets. You can deal with big-picture concepts, or you can address specific issues. If you can successfully address something in economics that is not generally understood, that will earn extra points. And if you produce something that can be used to educate students, that will also appeal to the judges. We will be accepting videos from now until May 1. All videos that are approved by the judges will be posted online and publicized by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation. The videos will be distributed widely and hopefully will increase economic literacy, especially among young people. For more information on this contest please visit the CF&P contest webpage at www.freedomandprosperity.org/videos/contest/contest.shtml. In the first week of May, the Center's judges will then select the top three videos. First prize: $1,000 Second prize: $500 Third prize: $250 Five other videos will earn $100 prizes, and all approved videos will be posted online and publicized. The judges will include Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute, Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center, and Richard Rahn of the Institute for Global Economic Growth, as well as special guest judges from academia, media and Capitol Hill.
