Tomorrow (Wednesday, February 10) is the last day to submit videos for Project for Awesome 2021!

Project for Awesome is a yearly event where YouTube creators submit short videos advocating for their favorite charity or nonprofit. In the past, NaNoWriMo has received significant grants from P4A to help support our programs.

If you’re able and available to make and submit a short video about what NaNoWriMo means to you, you would help our nonprofit potentially earn a really important grant! Just make sure to upload your video to YouTube and submit it to Project for Awesome by Wednesday, February 10.

Important Dates

The submission window for uploading P4A videos will be from Wednesday, February 3, through Wednesday, February 10.Voting for videos will be open from Friday, February 12 through Sunday, February 14.

Essentially, the more videos that are uploaded in support of NaNoWriMo, the better our chances of getting the votes to win the grant will be!

Video Guidelines

If you are a person with a YouTube channel, or know someone who has a YouTube channel, or are just generally familiar with the basics of video editing, we’d love it if you wanted to make a video about NaNoWriMo for P4A! The videos are encouraged to be short and do not have to be heavily edited or produced at all, this is not a case of needing to be fancy!

You can find more information about sharing a video for Project for Awesome here. If you’d like us to know that you made a video, or have questions for us about it, you can let us know in this forum thread! We’ll be promoting all the videos made in support of NaNoWriMo throughout the voting weekend.
