A Call For Kindness Video Contest
Share kindness and stream on the NASDAQ Times Square Screen for a day!
One small act of kindness can truly make an impact. Kindness.org, Verizon, and AudPop have partnered together to showcase kindness across the country. The top three videos will screen in NYC in Times Square on the NASDAQ billboard for World Kindness Day, November 13th. The top 60 videos will have a chance to screen on Verizon and kindness.org websites and social channels.
How this video contest works:
You have until October, 31st 2022 to submit a video about kindness. Videos up to 3 minutes maximum are acceptable. All videos are initially screened by AudPop staff to ensure video contest guidelines are followed for acceptance into this video contest. Upon initially viewing, an email is sent to advise if your video is accepted or rejected. If your film is accepted, it will be viewed by a jury from Verizon and kindness.org. There are prizes for the top 3 videos and up to 60 videos will have a chance to screen on kindness.org and Verizon websites and social media channels. Submissions will be capped at 3000 entries. Winners can expect to receive a notification email by November 1st. This video contest is only open to US residents.
