New CONTEST - One Minute Shift

Deadline March 15th 2008 at midnight.

IF you have one minute to share your thoughts about how to make a positive change in the world and inspire others to do so, what would it be? You might demonstrate a key part of the solution, a change in consciousness or perspective or something that inspires us for the journey.

If you had a single minute to share the single most important message you have with the world, what would it be? And can you make that message entertaining enough to create a shift in others?

The Institute of Noetic Sciences Shift in Action program is offering $1,000 for the best "One Minute Shift" video!

Contest opens January 25, 2008 and closes March 15, 2008.

Create from your own original images, original music, original video and creativity... a one minute video (give or take a few seconds) that inspires, educates, illuminates or just tells a story about how the world is shifting in a positive way.

You may want to watch some of the One Minute Shifts on YouTube created by our Shift in Action team for inspiration and the winning videos from our first contest. You can see all of the One Minute Shifts at:
http://www.youtube.com/groups_videos?name=greatshiftcontest

Grand prize winner and runners up will also receive a Shift in Action membership for one year, email promotion of their video sent to 35,000 people and the selected videos will be showcased on http://www.OneMinuteShift.com

Simply post your One Minute Shift to this group and a panel of judges will select a winner in March!

Submission in this contest is your consent and agreement to have your video showcased on www.oneminuteshift.com as a winner or a runner-up and utilized by IONS in any media in perpetuity. You agree that all of the material in your video is original and not copyrighted by anyone other than yourself unless you have written permission. You retain all ownership to your video.

Once you have uploaded your one-minute video to YouTube.com and it is available for public view then go here to link it to us:

Good luck!

Aloha,

We will be responding to this RFP with deadline on March 1. Want a piece of $4MIL ? Motorola is funding a charter school in Chicago that is expected to be a test bed for university-based work on delivering STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education in an urban setting. Creativity Cafe would fit into that as well and since we are focusing on California as our first installation (see CCafe-LA.com) we offer you this:

FROM THEIR SITE:

With an interest in sparking a love for science and inspiring the next generation of inventors, Motorola and the Motorola Foundation help cultivate the next generation of skilled scientists and engineers needed to create tomorrow's breakthrough ideas.

2008 Innovation Generation Grants
Application deadline: 1 March 2008

In 2008, the Motorola Foundation will provide US$4 million in Innovation Generation Grants to organizations that engage U.S. K-12 students and teachers in innovation, science, technology, engineering and math. Applicants should consider the following criteria:

• Funding priority will be placed on pioneering programs that:
— Engage students and teachers in innovative, hands-on ways
— Teach innovation and creative problem-solving skills
— Focus on girls and underrepresented minorities
— Engage Motorola employees as volunteers
— Take place in communities where Motorola has an employee presence in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas
— Demonstrate measurable outcomes
— Are less than two years old
• Grant applicants may request up to $100,000. Select organizations may be asked to apply for larger grants.
• Grants will be for one year of project work, starting after June 2008.
• Any U.S. non-profit organization may apply. Schools and school districts may apply.
• At least 25% of total grant dollars will support new programming that has been operating for less than two years and is not simply an expansion of an existing program.
• Returning 2007 Innovation Generation Grant recipients must demonstrate that they have created new STEM partnerships with business, another non-profit organization or another foundation.

Apply online by 1 March 2008. Returning Innovation Generation Grant recipients also can apply through the Innovation Generation Network portal.

Good luck!

In other news, I have begun to rework the blight that is Creativity Cafe's homepage to make the project easier to understand and view our fantastic track record. We'd also like to encourage more participation, especially with KidCast for Peace; Solutions for a Better World [http://creativity.net/KidCast] coming up right around the corner. If you have kids, I suggest you look into participating this year!!

Have a great weekend!
