Asian and Pacific Islander Communities are underrepresented by Census numbers, but you can help change that! Help get the word out by making a 30 – 60 second video about how the Census is safe, easy and important. Your video could screen at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific American Film Fest 2010, be seen nationally, and win you the grand prize of $3000! Fill out an entry form and get started now!!!
Here what you need to do:
1.Know the Census 2010 Message. It’s safe, easy, and important.
- It’s easy because the 10 question form only takes 10 minutes
to complete.
- It’s safe because the information collected during census is
private and cannot be used against you. Census 2010 will not ask about
immigration status or for social security numbers.
- It’s important because for every person not counted your
community will loose $14,500 in federal funds over the next decade.
That means less funding for schools, job training, hospitals, service
programs and health programs...just to name a few.
2.You can enter in one of four categories:
- Asian Language Census Message
- English Census Message for Asian Audience
- Pacific Islander Language Census Message
- English Census Message for Pacific Islander Audience
3. Once you have decided on which category you would like to enter your PSA in, you are all ready to shoot your video. Make sure that your video falls between 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. PSA entries should be uploaded onto the API Count YouTube Channel.
Start a Youtube account if you don’t already have one, and upload your video to our channel www.youtube.com/apicountcali Make sure you give your PSA the same title as in the entry form and put your full name in the description.
5. A mini DVD must to submitted to the below address in order to
qualify for the cash prize:
Asian Pacific American Legal Center
Attn: Census 2010 PSA Contest
1145 Wilshire Blvd., 2nd Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90017
