Create a video to show why girls are an important part of our country!

 The Women’s Media Center invites girls between the ages of 14-22 to create a 1-5 minute Girls’ State of the Union video. Like the President’s report, the Girls’ State of the Union will sum up the condition of the country – with a special emphasis on the welfare of girls.

Five finalists will be highlighted on the Women’s Media Center’s YouTube channel and a group of diverse and talented celebrity judges will choose the winner. The winner, along with her parents or guardians, will be flown to Washington, DC to present her State of the Union report at the National Press Club in January!

To participate in the Girls’ State of the Union video contest, you must upload your video to YouTube and send the link with your name, age, address, phone number and e-mail to: Elisa Kreisinger, Program Coordinator.

Submissions are currently being accepted and the deadline to submit your video is 11:59PM on December 5, 2011. Participants who are under 18 years old must submit a signed parental consent form along with their video.
