YOUR MISSION
Make a 30-second video that promotes, celebrates, or teaches about being a living organ donor on MatchingDonors.com. The creative approach you take on this assignment is at your discretion. A serious approach could be taken to highlight the noble heroism and compassion of persons who willingly and altruistically donate a piece of themselves to save lives. On the other hand, a funny approach could also be taken to highlight the lighter side of living organ donation. For instance, what humorous things could happen to a person who’s trying to donate an organ? How does missing an organ change a person’s attitude in a humorous way? While the creative direction you choose is up to you, be mindful that MatchingDonors.com wants these videos to serve effectively as Public Service Announcements, so they should represent the process of organ donation in a positive manner.

Once uploaded to Zooppa, approved videos will immediately be uploaded to TubeMogul, an online video advertising network, and distributed throughout the web to begin spreading the word about MatchingDonors.com's cause. This is a great opportunity for videomakers of all skill levels to help raise awareness about a remarkable non-profit organization and cause.
