More than 80 videos from 14 countries have been
submitted
Today, hundreds of thousands of people around the world will
begin voting to determine which 10 video entrants in the “Inspired
by Israel” video contest will be shown to an elite panel of judges.
More than 80 individuals and groups entered the contest by creating
videos that entertain, educate and inspire people about Israel.
A total of $20,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to the winning
videos, including an $8,000 Grand Prize. Hosted on
IsraelVideoNetwork.com, the contest is sponsored by the Adam and
Gila Milstein Family Foundation in partnership with the 12Tribe
Films Foundation.
Following this ten-day period of public voting, which ends on
March 29, the top ten prizes will be selected by a panel of
independent experts, including philanthropist Gila Milstein, Jewish
Journal/Tribe Media President David Suissa and StandWithUs Israel
Executive Director Michael Dickson. The winners will be announced
on April 30.
“This contest is a vivid and dynamic way for us to show to the
world the amazing people, places and innovations of Israel,”
philanthropist Adam Milstein said. “By voting on their favorite
videos, the public can participate in the contest, and let us know
which videos most inspire them.”
Entries in last year’s competition received more than 500,000
views during the voting period. The Grand Prize-winning video for
2016, “Superman's Got Nothing On Israel,” received hundreds of thousands of views and was
featured or shared by the Jewish Journal, the Jerusalem Post,
Algemeiner, StandWithUs, Israeli politicians, CAMERA, the Israeli
Consulate, Maccabi Netherlands and many other organizations and
individuals.
