Dear all
FYI
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO ENTER!
INTERNATIONAL V-DAY STOP RAPE CONTEST
http://www.vday.org/stoprape
DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 30, 2001
The V-Day International Stop Rape Contest 2002 is an initiative
designed to produce innovative and effective strategies to stop rape
worldwide. The contest, which is facilitated for V-Day by the human
rights organization, Equality Now, is in its second year and is open
to women and girls of all ages. Through the International Stop Rape
Contest, V-Day hopes to bring new and creative energy to its worldwide
movement to stop violence against women.
CONTEST BACKGROUND Last February 10, 2001, V-Day held the Gathering To
End Violence Against Women where the first Stop Rape Contest occurred.
Three winners were announced and their Stop Rape action plans are
being funded for implementation. V-Day is also funding an additional
eight Stop Rape Contest action plans for implementation throughout the
world. This year again, V-Day is seeking new ideas for strategies to
STOP RAPE through its Stop Rape Contest 2002.
ELIGIBILITY Women and girls of any age can enter the contest. Any
submission from more than one woman or girl must clearly indicate the
name of the group leader. By entering the contest, entrants agree to
abide by the following contest rules. Employees or contractors of
V-Day and immediate family members of V-Day employees or contractors
are not eligible for this contest.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Action plans must be 2 pages or less. Action plans must contain all
relevant contact information. They can be submitted in Arabic,
English, French or Spanish. Action plans must include a detailed
budget not to exceed US $25,000 (in addition to the 2 pages or less).
The ability to generate an effective plan that will cost less than
this maximum amount will also be used as criteria in judging. Action
plan strategies should be creative and innovative. They can be long
term or immediate, strategic or improvisational. They may be
unconventional, outrageous, funny, or daring. Action plans may
address all forms of gender violence, including the issue of rape,
domestic violence, teen dating violence, female genital mutilation.
Most important, they should be effective. All contest submissions
must include the entrant's name, age, telephone number, fax number,
email address, mailing address and country.
CONTEST DEADLINE Action plans must be received by a Regional
Coordinator no later than November 30, 2001. Submissions for the
United States, Canada and the English-speaking Caribbean may be
submitted to: noelle@fvpf.org
JUDGING AND PRIZES Three GRAND PRIZE winners of awards up to $25,000
will be selected, including a winner from each of the ten regions,
announced by January 11, 2002. Only the winners will be notified.
Judging will be done by the Regional Coordinators collectively, who
are activists from around the world working to stop violence against
women.
Until the Violence Stops!
