Susan Sarandon joins contest judges panel as deadline for submissions looms

We have an exciting new development for FairVote’s Upgrade Democracy Video Contest: superstar Susan Sarandon has been added to the list of celebrity judges! Ms. Sarandon joins a slate of top-notch judges like filmmaker Richard Linklater, political guru Donna Brazile, The Daily Show’s Dan Bakkedahl, Nirvana’s Krist Noveselic, and more.

We also wanted to remind you to redouble your creative efforts, because the deadline for submissions is approaching quickly! You only have a couple of weeks to make your video telling us how you would give democracy an upgrade, and have a shot at the $2000 grand prize. September 28, 2007 is the last day for submissions.

Go to www.UpgradeDemocracy.com for all the details so you can make a video, win cash, and save democracy!
