Many problems in our environment and society do not always receive the attention they deserve in the mass media. With that thought, The Great Minds Foundation, founded by Joe Elias launched the Great Minds Video Challenge. Through this competition students inform, inspire and encourage their peers to act responsibly and fufill their potential. These commercials will promote positive action in a format in which they can relate. Our goal is to encourage students to creatively share their views on a variety of life altering topics in the world of adolescents and their communities.
Great Minds Video Challenge 2008 - This exicting project is designed to better inform and increase awareness of specific topics affecting our youth today. The challenge is to deliver an important message by creating an original, emotionally charged, ground breaking video commercial. Similar to reality television, these commercials should grab your attention, depicting real life. This exciting project was designed to join creative energies with the desire to bring the message home.
