The best charity videos from around the world can win a cash prize and receive promotional coverage on YouTube. Entries are now open to the 6th Annual DoGooder Nonprofit Video Awards.
The awards, presented by See3 Communications and YouTube, are designed to recognise “the creative and effective use of video to promote the work of the nonprofit sector in catalysing social good”.

Jean Case, CEO of the Case Foundation, one of the sponsors, said: “Through the DoGooder Nonprofit Video awards, we have seen firsthand how compelling images and dynamic stories amplified by the social web can inspire and activate the masses.”
Holly Ross of NTEN added: “As nonprofits, we want to do more than simply tell people what we do, we want to show the impact it makes on our communities. Nothing lets us do that like video.”
Prizes
Technology provider Cisco will provide $14,000 in cash prizes and up to $6,000 in products to be divided amongst the winning organisations. The four contest winners will be featured on the YouTube homepage and receive free registrations to the Nonprofit Technology Network’s (NTEN) signature event, the Nonprofit Technology Conference.
Eligibility
To enter nonprofits or charities must be members or signed up for the YouTube Nonprofit Programme, YouTube’s programme that helps nonprofits achieve their missions through video.
The contest is open to nonprofits in the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK.
