Vote for Auburn students’ video in WFP Hungerbytes contest
Hungerbytes is a "viral" video contest sponsored by the World Food Programme. During the past year, individuals from around the world were invited to submit short videos to the Hungerbytes site on YouTube. On Aug. 1, a panel of distinguished film experts (including Cathy Schulman, Oscar winning producer of "Crash" and Edward Zwick, director of "Blood Diamond" and "The Last Samurai") selected the top five videos. One of these top five videos was developed by three Auburn students--Emma Thompson (HDFS), Collin Butler (AMDP) and Meri Kate Purgason (PREB)--as part of their Auburn Abroad in Italy experience. Now comes the "viral" part. The video that gets the most hits between now and World Food Day on Oct. 16 wins the contest and the opportunity to visit a WFP relief site in Asia, Africa or Latin America. Please help these students by viewing their video here. Remember, the video with the most hits wins the contest.
