mtvU offers $50,000 for a game about the crisis in Sudan

By Ross Miller

Jack isn't the only one who can make game
proposals to the community. MTV's  college-focused subsidiary, mtvU, is running a contest in order to bring about awareness of the genocide in Sudan. Send them a proposal for an "online video game or viral campaign" about the crisis,
and mtvU may give you $50,000 to develop your proposal to fruition.

This is a contest only for those with a passion for activism, as the money will be used (hopefully) towards your idea.
With $50,000 at your disposal, the game should be phenomenal, and not just a
text adventure thrown together out of contempt. If you go the route of viral campaign, might we suggest you avoid at all costs a countdown of any kind – there is nothing we despise more than the slew countdowns as of late.

E-mail your ideas to sudan@mtvstaff.com and be sure to check mtvU's
page for information regarding the current conditions and history of Sudan.
