Has your charity or a supporter produced an outstanding and compelling video? [The DoGooder Video Awards](http://2015.dogooder.tv/)
are once again seeking entries in order to showcase the best videos from organisations
and individuals that help achieve impact for good causes.

Finalists are selected by a panel of expert judges and the most of the winners are
decided by a public vote.

There is no cash prize, but the winning videos get their moment in the spotlight
when they are showcased on YouTube’s popular Spotlight channel. In addition each
winner will receive a free registration to the 2016 Nonprofit Technology Conference
from NTEN.
