We want to impact the world, and what better way is there to do that than through the World Wide Web? That's why ARPA Canada and Reformed Perspective are holding the Salt n' Light YouTube Contest. It's sponsored by CV Benefits (see below for more on them) who will be awarding two $250 grand prizes for the best short video that’s communicates our Christian worldview to the world. One of the grand prizes will go to the best video as selected by our judges with the other being selected by popular vote on www.ReformedPerspective.ca.  

So grab a camera, recruit some friends and put your creativity to good use. There is no cost to enter and every entrant receives a complementary 1-year subscription to Reformed Perspective.  Rules and details are below.  To see a sample video from ARPA Canada click here.  For additional resources on creating a video click here.  

 
Rules and Details:

1)    Entries will be judged on creativity, technical merit, overall impact (the "wow!" factor) and, of course, their Christian worldview. Entries need not quote Scripture, or be explicitly Christian, but cannot conflict with the Bible, as it is summarized in the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism and the Canons of Dort.
2)    The video clip must be original and produced for this contest.
3)    Entries must conform to copyright laws (including the use of music).
4)    Maximum length is 6 minutes.
5)    More than one person may make the movie, but only one RP subscription will be given per entry. A person may submit more than one entry, but will be given only one subscription.
6)    Entrants are responsible for posting it on YouTube and marketing their movie to get more votes.
7)    Viewing and voting will be done through the RP website (not YouTube).
8)    The RP and ARPA Canada judges reserve the right to decline submissions or not award a grand prize.
9)    Voting begins on October 1st, 2009. Late entries may be accepted but will be penalized by not having as much time to receive votes from the public.
10)    Enter by emailing Jon Dykstra at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and including your name and postal address (for the subscription) as well as the church you are a member of, the video’s name, YouTube (or equivalent) web address, and social or political theme.
