Online Muslim movie contest

p2pnet news | Movies:- “What’s it like to wear a head scarf on Main St., USA? How about to play soccer in one? How would you feel if just going to the bathroom on a plane made people around you nervous? Or are you the person that feels nervous?”
That’s the intro to an online contest slugged “One Nation, Many Voices,” and it’s looking for entries relating the American Muslim experience.
Submissions should last five minutes or less and the winning film will be aired on Link TV, it says, going on:
We’re offering $50,000 in cash prizes for short videos exploring any aspect of life relating to the American-Muslim experience.
Everyone in the U.S. is invited to compete, regardless of race or religion, so grab a camera, read our online tips, and get filming.

The contest has a special category for filmmakers 18 and under, plus another for entries of 60 seconds and less.
The four other categories include Drama, Comedy, Documentary and Animation/Music.

Thank you for raising this topic, Jon. Besides organized crime and Organized Music, there is Organized Religion, which is not better than the first two.
Herouxville, you will be remembered because you decided to stand up!
