Have you or someone you know had a positive impact on your community? It’s time to get the word out! IDoMinistry.org is holding a video contest that hopes to discover the wonderful and untold stories of people, programs, ministries or events that have touched their communities. It can be current or historical and as grand or as small as you can think of. It’s all about the local heroes. Check out the awesome video below about the Rycyclery to get an idea.
The videos should be 1-4 minutes long and can be shot as documentary, dramatic or any other style you can think of to communicate the story. The only real catch is that it MUST be shot on a mobile device such as an iPhone, Android device or Flip camera.

I’ve got to say I’m pretty disappointed about the mobile device requirement. I just shot an amazing story of a youth center in a small town and it’s incredible impact on the youth and community. However I used professional equipment because if you are going to spend all that time shooting and editing it doesn’t make sense not too.
I understand you want the contest to be open to all, but I think this requirement limits you more than it opens things up.
