Action! The 6th Annual DoGooder Nonprofit Video Contest is open and taking submissions. If your nonprofit made a video this past year, we want to see it, show it, and recognize your work. It’s time to let that video shine, get some more views, and win some awards.

Last year’s contest was an amazing event, with nearly 1,400 videos entered, 24,000 public votes, and almost 1,000,000 views for the winning videos. If you participated last year, be sure to enter a new video for this year’s award. If you haven’t participated before, then now is the time to enter your video. 
 

The contest is officially accepting submissions from February 1st through February 29th. Eligible contestants MUST be members of the YouTube Nonprofit Program. If your organization is not already a member of this free service: no sweat, it’s easy to register and only takes about 10 minutes.

As a sponsor of the contest, Cisco will donate $3,500 in prizes and up to $3,500 worth of great products to each prizewinner to help these winning organizations harness the power of human and technology networks to multiply their impact on the people and communities they serve.

The Case Foundation will award special prizes to be announced on February 15th. Stay tuned!

Winners will also receive free registrations to next year’s Nonprofit Technology Conference provided by the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN). To make sure that winning videos get in front of the largest online video community in the world the winners will be featured on YouTube’s homepage on Thursday, April 5th. That means a surge of views for your video. Sounds pretty awesome, right?
