[fvc-wat-disc] Fair Vote Canada Video Contest - Help Us Make it Big!

[Anita]

Hi Fair Vote Canada Waterloo supporters. You very likely got this email below in your mailbox, but this is just a reminder to help these awesome videos we received reach as many people as possible! The first stage of the contest was a success - we received 11 great entries so far. Now the contestants are competing for a judged panel award and a viewer's choice award for the most views (of course, people with a thousand friends on social media have a headstart but if all of us help out it should be the very best videos that have the chance to go "viral"....). 

There really is something for everyone among the entries: great educational videos using real and pretend countries (Beaver Country, Mouse Country, Canada...), entertaining videos (I find Disproportional Representation - lots of inside jokes for those of us in this cause for a while - and First Past the Pizza just hilarious) and more!

You can see all the videos in the playlist here:

We have two months to work together to help get these views up. We know how many people are ready to hear this and need a way to engage people and explain it, so please share your favourites and encourage friends to do the same.
