The betterplace lab team is excited. By the time our official deadline for the FLIP video contest ended yesterday evening, we had received ideas and stories from 240 applicants worldwide.
And from this pool, 68 sent us their film ideas. 48 of those followed our contest criteria and are now being evaluated. By this weekend, we plan to create a short list of the top 20, and in the next week our partner Cisco will send two FLIP cameras to the top 10.
Then the ball will really start rolling. The chosen projects will then have three months to make their film ideas into reality, showing the work and impact of their project. We’ll post the films online at the end of August and let the entire betterplace community vote on their favorites.
We look forward to what will happen. And we’ll be sure to keep you up to date.
