Rather than pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to some beltway bandit ad agencies, your government is challenging you to come up with a new Public Service Annoucement regarding the H1N1 flu.
Here are the details from Whitehouse.gov - on a contest ($2,500 prize) for members of the public to come up with creative things:
Flu Prevention PSA Contest: HHS Needs You
Posted by Katie Stanton
Today, as the Administration holds a day-long summit on H1N1, we're excited to announce that HHS is launching a new PSA campaign contest to encourage more Americans to get involved in the nation's flu preparedness efforts by making a 15, 30 or 60 second video Public Service Announcement (PSA). The goal of the contest is to tap into the nation's creativity to help educate Americans about how to plan for and prevent the spread of the flu and the H1N1 virus.
The videos can be funny, cute, dramatic, but most of all, they should help make a positive impact. HHS is organizing an expert panel to evaluate submissions and will present the best PSAs to the public so everyone can vote on their favorite submission. The winning PSA will receive $2,500 in cash and will appear on national television. To learn more about the contest details, as well as our larger effort to plan and prepare for the flu season, please go to www.flu.gov (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Flu-Prevention-PSA-Contest-HHS-Needs-You/#TB_inline?height=220&width=370&inlineId=tb_external&linkId=1). To take a crack at the PSA contest, just post a response to Secretary Sebelius' video below, but skim over the rules first (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Flu-Prevention-PSA-Contest-HHS-Needs-You/#TB_inline?height=220&width=370&inlineId=tb_external&linkId=2).
