Psoriasis Cure Now Releases New Podcast on How to Win its $10,000 Video Contest

Kensington, MD (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- Psoriasis Cure Now, a nonprofit patient advocacy group, has released the latest in its series of free podcasts, this one focused on how to win its amateur video contest, which features $10,000 in prize money for the best short videos about psoriasis. The podcast includes an interview with David Straus, CEO of Withoutabox, Inc., a worldwide leader in the distribution of independent films. In the podcast, Straus offers tips and strategies for creating winning short films, including for the Psoriasis Cure Now video contest, which launched last week and will be accepting submissions through September 26, 2007.

"David Straus is a leader in promoting the democratization of filmmaking and film distribution, so it made perfect sense to get his thoughts on how people should approach the Psoriasis Cure Now video contest," said Michael Paranzino, president of Psoriasis Cure Now. "You can't listen to him without getting excited about film as a communications medium. The podcast will appeal to anyone interested in telling stories through film or video."

To win the contest, participants must create a short video that educates the public about the seriousness of psoriasis or the challenges people with psoriasis face. Further details are available on the contest website in the Official Rules, which govern the contest and are must-reading for all participants. The video can be serious, humorous, autobiographical or fictional. Those selected as Finalists will each receive $250 and be eligible for the $7,500 Grand Prize, and an Early Bird prize of $1,000 will be given to the person who submits the best video of those entered through August 15. Participation is free, and a contestant does not need to have psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis to enter or win. The video contest and podcast are both available from the Psoriasis Cure Now video contest website:
