Voices of Americans with Disabilities 2014 Video Contest - enter by Sept. 9

as posted by the NATIONAL DISABILITY INSTITUTE...

Share your American dream in National Disability Institute's 4th Annual My American Dream – Voices of Americans with Disabilities Video Contest. Do you want to land your dream job? Own a home? Go to college? Start your own business? Share your goals and show America that people with disabilities want what everyone wants – a chance to live their American dreams. Be part of the conversation. Be part of the solution. Be part of advancing the economic empowerment and financial capability of people with disabilities.

Create and submit a three-minute video (no longer, please!)  by Sept. 9, 2014 that tells your story and shows the steps you plan to take or the steps you are taking toward your American Dream. Be serious. Be funny. Be creative. How you share your story is up to you. Take a look at previous finalists. Some videos are simple. Some are fancy. It’s the story that matters.

ONE GRAND PRIZE WINNER will receive:
  • $1,000;
  • A digital tablet of his/her choice*; and
  • Sessions with a mentor to help him/her take positive steps toward achieving his/her dream.
