ENTERING IS EASY:

Upload as many videos as you’d like, but be sure to mention only ONE nonprofit per video for a chance to win! If you’re uploading to a personal Facebook page, remember to set your video to public, so it can be included in the contest.
Step 3: Spread the word! Get your Facebook fans/followers to “Like” your video. The nonprofit named in the eligible video with the most “Likes” will be the recipient of a $1,000 grant prize. The named nonprofits in the eligible videos with the second, third, and fourth most “Likes” will each be the recipient of a $500 grant prize.
