In the fall of 2010, Catalogue launched a contest to mark our eighth year: we asked our non-profits to choose an “8″ word (celebrate, collaborate, appreciate, or elevate) and then create a 30-60 second film around it. Many used a simple hand-held camera or even a cell phone, but the results were pretty amazing.
Our winner, the Literacy Council of Montgomery County won the “Power of 8″ contest with this great video. Their prize was a professionally-produced video from 5:00 Film and Media … and we are excited to share it with you today!
I love the prize-winning entry and I love this video too. Both really convey the power of simple things — the ability to understand a newspaper or street sign, help a child with homework, read a book.
