For the second year in a row, CMF is proudly supporting The Sparky Awards - an awesome video competition focusing on
the infinite topic of online information sharing.

The Internet gives new meaning to the notion that, by sharing ideas, we build a better understanding of the world around us. By participating in CMF, or using Youtube, Facebook, or your own blog, you probably understand the value of sharing information, ideas and knowledge. Sharing can also be a vital tool in helping to address complex problems that challenge society such as global warming, or economic disparity.

The Sparky Awards challenge you to illustrate, in a short video of two minutes or less, what you see as the value of sharing information. Use your imagination to suggest what good comes from bringing down barriers to the free exchange of information. The winner will receive a cash prize of $1,000, and will be screened at the Campus MovieFest Southern Grand Finale in Spring 2010!
