Last Day to Vote for our Social Issue Video Game
An online game we are in the throes of producing has been nominated as one of 15 finalists (out of 243 entries from around the world) for the Changemakers competition (in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). It is the only project that proposes a game as a powerful and viable form for social change! The project is an initiative funded by a non-for-profit organization called METRAC that works to ensure women, youth, and children live free from all forms of violence and the threat or fear of violence.
The Changemakers competition is an initiative of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public that focuses on the rapidly growing world of social innovation. It provides solutions and resources needed to help everyone become a changemaker and presents compelling stories that explore the fundamental principles of successful social innovation around the world.
The top three winners will be selected via online votes. Voting ends April 30th - vote TODAY!! Your vote would be a huge encouragement for us and would surely help us to promote the prevention of gender-based violence within the framing of an important new medium.
