Join up with Celtx and Against Malaria in the fight against malaria.
Get involved and help save a life!
We're challenging high school, university, and film school students across the planet to create media that educates the public about malaria and inspires others to donate $5 to buy a life-saving malaria bednet.
From October 1st to December 31, 2008 use Celtx to create a video, film, ad, comic book, stage play, podcast, video game, music video, machinima - anything that you think will draw attention to malaria bednets and encourage others to make a donation.
Once you're ready, tag your project as 'camstudentschallenge' and publish your project to this page for all the world to see. (Here's a video tutorial on how to publish a project to Project Central)
The incentive to participate is simple - feeling good for doing good, knowing your actions will help save a life.
On January 15th, 2009, Against Malaria will select 3 projects whose creators will receive the honor of determining the countries of distribution for 5,000 malaria bednets. 10 projects will also be selected at random and their creators will receive a Celtx swag pack (jacket and USB stick). Plus, one or more of the projects will be linked to and promoted on the Against Malaria site.
Also, we'll tally up the donations made between October 1st and December 31st and the school with the most individual donators will be awarded a high definition video camera courtesy of Celtx! So be sure to include the name of your school when you make your donation.
Start right now by making a personal $5 donation to buy 1 malaria bednet.
Then start making your media to help save a life!

I like the idea to make media to save life. That´s my passion. Get engaged.
I put this script together with animation in mind. The main idea behind it is that there are many allies in the fight against malaria, just not enough awareness.
This script has the objective of linking global warming (caused by everyone in the world) with malaria (disease that affects parts of the world with high temperatures).
