For the last 3 years, we’ve been asking young people across the US and Canada to tell us in 2 minutes or less their stories about safe, responsible technology use.  They’ve responded with enthusiasm and creativity;  they’ve entertained and moved us.

Our contest themes have varied each year: from online privacy to bullying to keeping online information safe.  Each time, we’ve seen a range of responses: how social networks are used, how cell phones are misused, or how bullying makes people feel and act, for better or worse.

This year, we’re sticking to the format that’s worked so well so far.  We hope to again see more inventive storytelling on film.  We’d like contestants to continue using social media to spread their message.  And we’re ready to give out some very big cash prizes again.

But this year, we’ve changed a few things – hopefully for the better.
