We love TechSoup, and our friends over there are having a digital storytelling challenge for nonprofits this month! Read more below.
—
TechSoup’s third annual Digital Storytelling Challenge (TSDigs) is on this month, and we want you to submit!
It’s simple: Create a one-minute video or five-photo slideshow capturing your organization’s mission, passion, and hard work and enter it by February 29. A panel of judges – including award-winning documentarian Marc Smolowitz, Raven Woods of Netroots Nation, and the folks from the Story of Stuff – will pick the best videos and photo slideshows to win technology for your org, donated by our generous partners. An additional award will be given to audience choice winner.
Serious technical skill is not necessary, and we have loads of resources to get you on track, including learning opportunities, recorded webinars, and blog entries sharing knowledge from experts in the field. Visit www.tsdigs.org today to find out more and get your story in by February 29!
Guidelines and Timeline
