How is God at work in this world through your hands?
How would you illustrate it through a 30- to 90-second video?
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is inviting members and the general public to submit their videos to a contest inspired by our tagline: “God’s work. Our hands.” Prizes include a $5,000 ministry grant for ELCA congregations or a $2,500 cash prize for individuals. Second prize in both categories is an HD flip video camera.
How to Participate:
- Shoot a short video on what “God’s Work. Our Hands” means to you
- Upload your video (external link) before July 15, 2009
- Tell your friends and family to view your video and rate it!
The top ten entries in each category will be judged on creativity, ability to inspire, interpretation of theme and popularity. Public viewing and rating will be held until July 22, 2009. Winners will be announced at the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly, held in August in Minneapolis, Minn. See the official contest rules (external link) for full details.
