The ABA Section of Dispute Resolution is sponsoring a Mediation Video Contest on YouTube.  Details are here.  The Section seeks “creative, thoughtful, original three-minute videos that demonstrate the mediation process and benefits of mediation. The goal of the competition is to further public understanding of mediation and to promote the use of mediation as a way to resolve disputes. The video need not address only legal disputes.”  First prize is $1,000; second prize is $500.  Submissions will be judged by a committee of Section members and ABA staff.  The judges will evaluate entries using the following criteria:
* Effectiveness in achieving purpose and goal of the video
* Overall quality of presentation
* Overall appeal to diverse audience
* Overall production quality (including lighting, focus, sound, graphics)
* Originality, Creativity and Adherence to Contest Rules.
