INFO for those that care to know...
Well... when Michael wasn't notified about anything before the anticipated August 1st announcement; we were pretty confident he didn't win any of the prizes.
However, since August 1st has come and gone without any announcement at all, I now wonder if Right.org is a bust. After all (outside of this contest) who ever heard of them? And where would they get the funds to pay for their contest (obviously the contest was offering more funds than it took to put up the website).
But all is not lost. Michael has entered a couple of other contests. One is a Sallie Mae video contest. If he advances to the next level; he will need some votes.
The other is for DirectTV. Michael is being sent to China now (just before school starts) to get it made! 200 people came up with ideas for a commercial and Filmaka chose 20 ideas to fund. Michael's idea was chosen and he is being given $5000 to bring it to fruition where it will be judged against 19 other contestents also given $5000 each. Ten of these commercials will win prizes from $2500 to $15,000. There are lots of logistical unknowns with this Chineese commercial. Oh my!
