ObamaIn30Seconds.org - Celeb Backed Obama Ad Contest

The primaries are nearing an end and the outlook is still rather murky, which is why Obama lovers MoveOn.org have launched ObamaIn30Seconds, a celeb supported ad contest. Obama needs one final push to gain solid primary ground, and MoveOn is prompting creative types of all walks of life to come up with one breathtakingly, compelling and convincing ad championing Barack Obama as president. Think you have the nerve and the genius to do so? Submit your entry before April 1st (yes, time is quickly running out) and if you win you’ll get $20,000 towards the purchase of video equipment. Among the panelist of judges are Matt Damon and his crony Ben Affleck, ‘Save the Last Dance’ star Julia Stiles, DJ Spooky, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

“MoveOn.org has a message for all filmmakers, writers, directors, actors, editors, composers, graphic artists, and animators: Whether you're a total amateur or a total pro, now is the time to use your creativity to help Barack Obama win. We're launching an ad contest: "Obama in 30 Seconds."
Powered by grassroots enthusiasm, Obama has won the most states and the most delegates. But the race isn't over, and we've got to pull out all the stops to help him across the finish line.”

This one’s for Barack fans. It gets them involved. It’s got celebrity backing. Plus, the prize of recognition and some video equipment is pretty good.

Why such a limiting prize?
