:::::::CALL OUT TO THE ENTIRE DEPAUL COMMUNITY:::::::

Do you do PURPOSE-DRIVEN work? Do you have a SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS story to tell? Let's create MEDIA together! 

:::::::WHAT:::::::::::

We are hosting our inaugural VINNY PRIZE MIXER for DePaul students, faculty, staff, and partner organizations to pitch stories on socially conscious work being done in our community. Student filmmakers, animators and media creators are also invited to listen to your ideas and potentially collaborate on a media project to highlight what you do! 

:::::::WHY:::::::::::

The incentive for story pitchers is a 2-5 minute media piece produced by our talented student body that will help bring visibility to your cause.

For our student filmmakers and digital creatives, they will have the opportunity to submit the film and win this year's $3K Vinny Prize! More info below.
