We need your help to discover and tell the stories of everyday heroes, Hunger All-Stars, in your community.
Great stories are unfolding all around us. Thoughtful, committed individuals across the country and in our backyards are giving of themselves and their time to keep our friends, family and neighbors from going hungry. Imagine the neighbor who has volunteered for 40 years to feed those in need without ever being noticed or recognized. Or the child who raised money at the local mall after learning that some of his classmates were going hungry.
In association with Tongal.com we're seeking short videos that tell the stories of the dedicated men, women and children working to eliminate hunger in your community.
- The contest will consist of two phases. In Phase One, producers will create and submit their short films spotlighting a local food bank and the people in their communities who are fighting hunger. In Phase Two, members of the Tongal community will watch the videos to predict the winners.
- Winning video producers will receive up to $2500 and a truckload of Tyson food products (35,000 pounds) donated to their local community food bank.
- Films should run one to three minutes in length and should exemplify how people make a difference by dedicating time to hunger relief.
- Tyson Foods will use the winning videos on its web site, blog and other Internet properties to promote the work of Feeding America and Hunger Relief All-Stars across the country.
