PSA contest to urge Asians to vote

The San Diego Asian Film Foundation is launching a national public service announcement contest to help increase voter participation among Asian Pacific Islander Americans this election year. The contest, dubbed “Reel in the Vote,” challenges anyone with a video camera to help make a difference in 30 seconds. Still not inspired? Winners will receive $2,000 in prizes, a free trip to the San Diego Asian Film Festival (in October), and exposure galore—the top three videos will run on the SDAFF website, and screen before every film throughout the fest.

The deadline for entries is August 31. (www.sdaff.org)
