In an effort to capture the collective power of young people across the nation, the NAACP Youth & College Division is hosting a "Get Reel!" documentary film contest that will highlight youth members actively engaged in the social justice work of the NAACP. This is your opportunity to creatively highlight the hard work of your unit participating in direct actions, mobilizations, programs, meetings or any other activities that best represent your unit.

All film submissions will be evaluated by a panel of judges - with the top honors receiving prizes and being displayed during the NAACP National Convention in Detroit, Michigan. Please use the following criteria when submitting your information:

• Submissions must be between 5 - -7 minutes in length.
• The film has to be in the following formats: WMV., AVI., MOV., or DVD.
• NAACP youth members at work must be prominently displayed in the video.
• DO NOT submit original copies - submissions will not be returned.
• Include with your submission, the name/number of your unit and contact information for the unit Advisor and/or President.
• All materials must be postmarked by Friday, June 22, 2007. No exceptions!
