[Scott Moore]

Hi everyone, thanks for signing up for the TechSoup Global Digital
Storytelling Challenge.

We want to continue to encourage submissions of digital stories from
nonprofit and social benefit organizations. The Challenge is a great
way to quickly and inexpensively to share your organization's mission,
participate in a shared experience and tell the world your story!

No experience needed to submit your digital story to Flickr, YouTube
or Goldmail and also be eligible to win recognition and prizes!

Submit your digital story during TechSoup Global's Digital
Storytelling Challenge open now through October 16th.

Tell us your organization's story in a 5-panel image story on Flickr
or a 60 second YouTube video or GoldMail audio-visual message. You'll
be in the running to win one of our many fabulous prizes including a
Flip Video camera, Adobe software, mp3 players and more!


"BUT WAIT, I'VE NEVER MADE A VIDEO BEFORE. AND I HAVE NO PHOTO
SKILLS."

No experience is required! Whether you're a first-time storyteller or
video veteran, we've got resources and tools from the webinar sessions
to help guide you along the way.
