Now here’s a user-generated contest that I can get behind instead of bashing.
Dailymotion and One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving education in the developing world, today announced a holiday contest to support OLPC’s Give One, Get One campaign.
The contest calls for Dailymotion users to upload original commercials for the Give One, Get One campaign. One winning commercial will be selected from among the submissions and aired on TV.
Enter the contest, participants by uploading your video to the Give One, Get One group here.
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit organization founded to improve education and access to knowledge for every child in the world by designing, manufacturing, and distributing low-power, connected laptops. These laptops are sold to governments and NGOs and issued to schools of children on a basis of one laptop per child. These machines are rugged and energy efficient. Mesh networking will give many machines Internet access from one connection. The goal is to provide children around the world with a window into the world and a tool with which to think. The XO laptop is a wonderful way for children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration.
