Reel in the Vote
Reel in the Vote is a non-partisan PSA contest and campaign to generate awareness, excitement, and dialogue to get more Asian Pacific Islander Americans (APIAs) and independent voters out to the polls this year.
Reel in the Vote has been made possible through a major grant from the California Independent Voter Project and additional support from CAUSE (Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment).
30-Second Video Contest
We want to thank everyone who submitted their very creative and thoughtful videos for our 2010 Reel in the Vote contest. After much deliberation, our jury selected the following three PSAs as our winners:
by Julius De La Cruz
by Jason Nou
by Kimberly Rose-Wolter
Congratulations to Julius, Jason, and Kimberly! Please watch and share the videos with your friends to promote getting out the vote on November 2nd.
Our Supporters
