citizens and organizations in the United
States and those abroad, as well as by
presenting U.S. society and culture in
all of its diversity to overseas audiences.
The strategic objective of ECA is to
assist in the development of friendly,
sympathetic, and peaceful relations
between the United States and other
countries of the world by establishing
and furthering common interests and
values between Americans and people
of different countries, cultures and
faiths. To this end, ECA designs and
implements programs that build
personal and institutional relationships
and that engage educational institutions
and the private sector as partners on key
public diplomacy initiatives.
ECA is building on and amplifying its
international exchange programs by
creating online communities that
enhance mutual understanding. On
October 1, 2008 ECA launched an
interactive Web site and online social
networking space (connect.state.gov) to
build a worldwide community of people
dedicated to creating international
understanding and dialogue. Through
this Online Video Contest, members of
ECA’s social networking Web site are
invited to submit one video each that
addresses the theme ‘‘My Culture +
Your Culture = ? Connecting Through
Difference: Share your Story’’. The
Contest goal is to open active channels
of communication, with the ECA Web
site serving as the focal point for
fostering a discussion of common values
and interests. This overview of the
Contest initiative is provided in order
fully to inform the public and interested
members of the philanthropic, corporate
and NGO communities of ECA’s
strategic objectives and priorities.
The Contest will be open to the
general public worldwide and will be
launched and open for submissions in
December 2008. Employees and
contractors of the U.S. Government, and
their immediate family members
(spouse, parent, child, sibling and
spouse or ‘‘step’’ of each) and those
living in the same household, are not
eligible to enter the Contest. The general
public will be invited to submit videos
of three minutes or less. Videos will be
submitted and judged in two age group
categories: (1) 14–17 years, and (2) 18
years and over (ages at time of
submission). Videos may contain any
form of artistic expression (e.g., song,
dance, skit). Initially, the general public
worldwide will be invited to vote for
their favorite video contest submissions
on ECA’s social networking Web site
(connect.state.gov). The 40 videos
receiving the most public support will
be sent to a blue ribbon panel of alumni
from ECA’s international exchange

programs to be ranked. Four grand prize
winners will receive global recognition
of their videos and be eligible to
participate in an ECA-funded,
approximately two-week international
exchange program. Winners must have
a valid passport by the time of travel;
prizes are contingent on visa eligibility
and issuance.
Contest Details and Rules will be
available at connect.state.gov no later
than the December 1, 2008 contest start
date.
ECA welcomes the views of the
philanthropic, corporate and NGO
communities on this initiative and the
potential for strategic partnership in
achieving them.
