Pulitzer Center - Project: Report 2010 CONTEST AND CALL FOR ENTRIES - deadline Feb 28, 2010

The contest invites non-professional, aspiring reporters to share their stories with the world.
With two rounds over three months, short documentary assignments will be judged on the quality of the stories reported and the production value of the videos. An expert panel led by the Pulitzer Center will choose ten finalists from the first round to receive technology prizes from Sony and Intel. The ten finalists will compete to receive one of five $10,000 grants to work with the Pulitzer Center on an under-reported international story.
Round 1 launches today
The assignment:
Document a single day in the life of a compelling person the world should meet and showcase how that person is making a positive impact in his or her community.
All videos must be three minutes or less. Submissions will be open through February 28, to see submission requirements, check out the official rules.
The Pulitzer Center has provided over one hundred grants for reporting projects that spotlight critical international issues. Watch the video below to see what we are looking for in a video submission to Project: Report.
