So there is a great contest that I probably shouldn't tell you about because I don't want the competition, but the cause is just too good to not spread the word.

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Hospital is having it's second annual filmpossible contest http://www.filmpossible.ca. The concept is to bring visibility to disability. Instead of focusing on the disability in a negative light; highlight the individual and what they have achieved.

The contest closes to entries in 11 days and last year there were way more entries. Also, this year they added the photography category which also has decent prizes. It's sponsored by Cisco, so the top video gets $5000 and the top photo gets $1000. Seeing as how there are only 14 entries total right now - odds aren't bad.

I'm not affiliated with the contest in any way other than trying to figure out what to photograph that works with the theme (and get consent from the people in the photo). I'm really just trying to raise the visibility of the contest and hopefully get a couple of other people to submit some good stories in video or photo...
