Census Accelerate, an initiative of the U.S. Census Bureau’s innovation lab, has launched a first-of-its-kind Video Prize Challenge for partners and content creators to help get the word out about the 2020 Census for a chance to win up to $30,000.
This open call for content is designed to help educate and motivate individuals so that they understand why it’s critical to complete the 2020 Census — from getting the funding their community needs, to representation in congress. The goal of this challenge is to reach hard-to-count communities with engaging and informative content.
Submission period is open through April 17th at 11:59pm EST (extended deadline!), and winners will be announced in May.
Three prizes will be awarded: a $30,000 grand prize, $10,000 runner up, and $10,000 student prize.
This is an excellent opportunity to be creative, civically engaged and make sure your community is counted!
