I'm a CNN Finalist: Exercise Your Right and Vote!

I just found out that I am one of ten finalists for the CNN iReport challenge. YAY!

The challenge was to create a 30 second promo to promote iReport.com, and the winning iReport may air on CNN. CNN has chosen the finalists, now it’s up to the general public to decide who should be the grand prizewinner.

Please exercise your right to vote and visit http://www.ireportchallenge.com/gallery.asp and vote daily (now until Aug. 3, 2008) for the commercial you feel is the most meaningful in promoting and encouraging iReporters to upload their stories. Just for voting, you could be entered to win a flip video camera courtesy of CNN. You can even start your own iReport quest if you so choose.

This CNN iReport challenge means a great deal to me. I will be honored and thankful if you all pitch in and help me reach one of my many career goals.

I put a lot of effort into creating my very first commercial. I am delighted to share it with all Rock the Vote viewers. Below is a copy of my original commercial. Unfortunately my original video was not submitted in the promo challenge because I couldn’t shrink the file size, but a similar video with less detail was entered in the contest. You can view the submitted version on the voting website.

Your vote DOES count so please vote! YOU deserve to be heard.
