Help create a better world for children with disabilities!

Holland Bloorview believes in a world of possibility for kids with disability. They are calling on Canadians* across a spectrum of ages and abilities to create short videos – under two minutes long -- with the theme “bringing visibility to disability”. Six great prizes will be given away, including a first prize of $5000 cash. (other prizes)

The public will vote for their favourite videos. Videos will also be reviewed by a panel of celebrity judges. Six finalists will be selected -- three by the jury and three by the public. Winners will be determined by a final round of online public voting.

They are looking for your creative twist on bringing visibility to disability! Your videos could:

•Shatter myths
•Demonstrate inclusion
•Tell a story
•Show changes we can make
