GRAB YOUR SHARE OF $15,000 IN PRIZES!

After giving away more than $10,000 in the 2007 Psoriasis Cure Now Video Contest, we are back with a bigger and better contest for 2008. More prize money. More winners. And two fresh challenges.

We’re looking for short, tight videos: all entries must either be 15 or 30 seconds short! You can enter our ‘Serious’ track, or our ‘Humor’ track, or you can enter both…but no more than one entry per track.

Our Serious track is focused exclusively on creating a message around the fact that severe psoriasis has been found to shorten life by an average of four years. This is a disturbing and important issue, and we’d like to see what you can do with such a sober topic.

Our Humor track is also about a serious underlying issue – that psoriasis is a debilitating disease for millions of Americans – but for this broader topic, we’d like to see what you can do using humor to capture viewers’ attention as you convey serious information.

Two challenging topics, with different requirements (Read the Official Rules carefully!), but we have big prizes to make it worth your trouble. We’ll award TWO $5,000 Grand Prizes, TWO $1,000 Early Bird prizes, and EIGHT other $500 Finalist prizes.

So get your camcorder fired up. The deadline for entries is August 2, 2008.

For some inspiration, at right is the 2008 Early Bird winner in the Humor track, created by John Serpe of Los Angeles, California. And here you can check out more of the videos submitted so far in the 2008 contest. Thanks and good luck!
