The Sam Adams Alliance’s Voter Integrity Project is offering $1,000 in cash plus flip cam prizes for shockingly good videos that demonstrate citizen activists’ efforts to protect the integrity of the voting process. From VIP’s Ballotpedia page…

The contest’s scope is broad. VIP is looking for both ideas and action, both theory and practice. Acceptable submissions include (but are in no way limited to):

* Rants or demonstrations on how election fraud threatens the democratic process
* Documented instances of election fraud in practice or other suspicious election-related activity
* Any combination of the two

Thinking outside-the-box, being creative and showcasing talents are all highly recommended. One might dress up, go out in public, dance, sing a song, or present a short narrative. Those with more serious personalities may video their vote, ask voters questions about the election process, or document a poll-watching experience. Perhaps even some real investigative work. Ultimately, anything that helps protect the integrity of voting.

The deadline is November 25, 2008. Now get to work on those videos!

Good luck!
