Patheos.com, the premier online destination for balanced religious and spiritual information and dialogue, invites you to be a part of our Faith on Campus Video Contest. As a campus organization involved in the practice and promotion of your faith, we welcome your submissions!

Please forward this notification to your group connections at all of your campuses to give your participating students the best chance to win. If you would like us to contact your local campus organizations directly, please contact mmckenzie@patheos.com.

Who we are: Patheos is a resource for those who want to explore other faiths, delve more deeply into their own faith, or dialogue over belief in America. We have articles, discussion forums, glossaries, charts, and more! We are partnered with organizations like the Parliament of World Religions and The Harvard Pluralism Project.

What it is: A national video contest about faith on college campuses. Patheos has partnered with On Faith, an online feature from The Washington Post and Newsweek. (Read the full press release.) Students 18 and older are invited to enter short digital videos under five minutes in length with personal views on faith.

Choose from one of three categories:

Where to enter: Find out details and submit your videos online by visiting faithoncampus.patheos.com. You can also email questions to VideoContest@patheos.com.

Why you should: Take this opportunity to express personal views about the importance of faith on campus in front of top players in national media. Get involved in the important online dialogue about why faith matters in America today. Entertain your friends over your winter break. Reward yourself with some fun after exams.

What you get: An impressive panel of judges will review your work. In February, the top video will receive a cash prize of $2,500. Additionally, $1,000 prizes will be awarded to winners in each of the three categories.

When to start: Start today! The contest runs through April 15, 2010.
