This year's theme: Choose your Global Solution!
The idea behind this year's competition is Interactive storytelling. 1)
Your story or game must branch at a couple of points, and 2) your
viewer/player gets to make choices about which direction to go. We want
your audience to understand that today's global problems have multiple
solutions -- each leading to a different potential outcome for the
planet.
This contest is open to beginners! The website includes tips, links,
and tutorials to help you get started.
To participate in this year's contest simply go to this website and
register: http://multimedia.globalsolutions.org
You are welcome to work alone, in a team, or as part of a classroom
project. If you feel you don't have the tech skills / knowledge of world
issues, then team up with someone who does!
