- Videos must be no more than one minute in length.
- FairVote staff will view all video submissions and narrow them down to a list of nominees. If your video is nominated, FairVote will contact you through your YouTube account. So be sure to check your messages!
- The nominated videos will be viewed by a panel of celebrity judges, who will then choose the winners.
- The deadline for submissions is no later than 11:59 PM EDT September 28, 2007, so start getting creative. If you have any questions about the contest, election reform, or FairVote itself, shoot an e-mail off to upgradedemocracy@fairvote.org.
