Dear friends,
Just one week to go until the contest deadline!
The 2010 Citizen Ambassadors campaign is entering the last phase of submissions, and inquiries have been pouring in from around the world. People have told us they are working on projects including montages, animation, abstracts, testimonials, documentaries, musicals, and more.
We can't wait to see what you have been working on!
We are also happy to see that various media outlets and NGOs have been promoting the contest to their constituents. Some of the places our contest has been featured:
