20 Septembre 2022 - 3:00PM
One small act of kindness can truly make an impact. Through
Verizon's #ACallForKindness campaign, more than 10,000 people have
taken the kindness pledge to perform an act of kindness. Now, there
is a new and exciting way for everyone to join the kindness
movement. Verizon, kindness.org, and AudPop have partnered together
to showcase kindness like never before through a video submission
contest in which the top three videos will be shown on New York
City's Times Square NASDAQ billboard for World Kindness Day,
November 13th.
"Since 2020, we've been on a mission to spread kindness, and
partnering with kindness.org and AudPop will help us put kindness
front and center on the biggest stage on World Kindness Day," said
Krista Bourne, chief operating officer of Verizon Consumer Group.
"We can't wait to see the submissions and hope these videos will
inspire others to choose kindness in their lives every day."
"Telling stories of human kindness is such an effective and
powerful way to remind people why every kind act makes a
difference," said Jaclyn Lindsey, Co-founder & CEO of
kindness.org. "We've always been committed to storytelling as a
means to inspire people everywhere to choose kindness. And now
through this partnership with AudPop and Verizon, we are so excited
to see how people tell their own story of kindness, and more
importantly the impact their stories will have on others.""AudPop
is thrilled to partner with Kindness and Verizon to crowdsource
videos about kindness,” said Paige Williams, Founder & CEO,
AudPop. “We know a story well told can change the world, and these
3000 videos will have a major impact on spreading acts of kindness.
That's why we do what we do at AudPop. Marrying our video
submissions software with a community of 75,000 global, diverse
creators allows for great brands and nonprofits to create real
change and have impact in the world." To participate, create a
video up to 3 minutes that tells a compelling story about kindness.
Your video should display kindness, messages of positivity and the
beneficial impact kindness has on humanity. Videos can be narrative
or nonfiction storytelling that urges others to bravely display
kindness in their everyday lives.
Questions to consider when creating your video:
- Why does kindness matter?
- What are the unexpected ways kindness shows up in our
lives?
- How can I inspire others to choose kindness?
The contest closes on October 21. To learn more about rules and
