You are about to participate in the making of a very unique film project! This project is a collaboration with you and with hundreds of other Americans all over the country.
Entering is easy. Winning is hard.
This is real. If you want to win, you’ll need to put in the effort to capture an image that moves us.
We’re looking for portraits. We’re looking for single, powerful shots that speak to the character of the American worker. Did you know that American workers are amongst the most productive in the entire world? Dedicated, proud, productive. Are they eager? Are they resigned? Are they proud of what they do? Do they work hard? Are they tired? Can we see the stress of their lives etched on their faces, or the satisfaction of a job well done? Are they defeated or are they strong in the face of adversity? Capture the story of American workers near where you live. What makes them special? You decide. You take the photo, you capture the video. Your images tell the story!
Your images may get wide spread viewing on the Internet, the final film may end up on cable TV, PBS, HBO, ShowTime, or in movie theaters! If your image is used in the film, you will get a screen credit! And you maybe one of the lucky winners to win $1,000.00 cash or a $250 photo supply gift certificate!
