There is prize money, you could win up to $25,000 in cash, which would solve a lot of folks problems or possibly create new ones.

Doing quick skim of the essential things to know:
This is a United States based contest so for my international friends, sorry you are out of luck on this one. Contributions must be in English, captioned or dubbed.
The contest is open to individuals and organizations: I'm taking that to mean non-profits but it was not specified. It seems it gives room to allow for-profit creators to jump in and muck up the mix.
You retain ownership of your work but you grant permission for the contest to use/display your creation for a year. (Yes!)
If you want in get busy; you have until 3:00pm April 30, 2013 to submit you ideas and projects.
