On the United Nations’ first International Day of Democracy, 9.15.08, the U.S. Department of State launched a worldwide competition aimed at enhancing the global dialogue on democracy. The Democracy Video Challenge asks budding filmmakers, democracy advocates, and the general public to create video shorts that complete the phrase, “Democracy is…” The winners will be selected by the online voting public. Six regional winners will be eligible to claim an all-expense paid trip to the United States that includes screenings of their videos in New York, Hollywood and Washington, meetings with film directors, public officials and democracy advocates from nongovernmental organizations, and time on film and TV sets.
