I'm a BC filmmaker, working on a project called *Dancing with the Octopus;
Women in Politics and Beyond* www.dancingwiththeoctopus.com****

and would like to let you and your students know about this non-partisan
media conversation and about the short video contest we are launching with
a $500 prize, deadline Mar 31/12.****

** **

It asks the question,  "What changes would you see in your country if there
were 75% women in government?" ****

to be answered in an online video of 2 minute or less , deadline March
31/12. We are offering a $500 prize - and 5 finalists will be judged by a
jury panel from the 4 federal parties - Elizabeth May (Green), Carolyn
Bennett (Liberal), Denise Savoie (NDP) and Wai Young (Conservative).****

Here is the youtube link to our short, fun demo video explaining the
contest:  ****

This project starts the conversation about getting an equal voice at the
table and if you have students interested in participating somehow, please
invite them to get in touch with me.  ****

Thank you so much, ****
