The Create the Good Dream Builders Video Contest is open through February 7. This initiative, in its second year, builds on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a dream” message as well as AARP’s commitment to livable communities and service. The contest invites individuals to submit a video about a “dream” volunteer project they are currently working on - or want to carry out - in collaboration with a community non-profit. AARP will narrow down the entries and then post the 12 finalists for a public vote, which will be held from February 15 through 28. The Grand Prize is a $2,500 donation to the non-profit acknowledged in the winner’s video entry to help bring their dream project to life. The top three runner-ups will win $500 donations to support their efforts. Please help us spread the word to individuals across your state!
