YouTube Project Report

Posted by: Jim MacMillan | Comments (0)


In partnership with the Pulitzer Center, YouTube presents Project: Report, a journalism contest (made possible by Sony VAIO & Intel) intended for non-professional, aspiring journalists to tell stories not covered by traditional media outlets that might not otherwise be told. In each of the two rounds of Project: Report, reporters will be given an assignment to complete. Pulitzer will select ten (10) Semi-Finalits after Round 1. These Semi-Finalists will receive technology prizes from Sony VAIO & Intel. From there, the ten (10) Semi-Finalists will compete for five (5) grand prize packages which include a $10,000 journalism fellowship from the Pulitzer Center to report on story outside their home country. Check out all the details of Project: Report at http://www.youtube.com/projectreport +++ ASSIGNMENT for Round 1: * Document a single day in the life of a compelling person that you think the world should know about and showcase how that person is making a positive impact in her/her community. * Must be 3 minutes or less and submitted in English, or with English subtitles. * Submission Deadline for Round 1 is 11:59 PM on Sunday February 28.
