With budget cuts continuing to slash funds for student programs focusing on science, technology, engineering and math, Time Warner Cable’s Connect a Million Minds initiative is launching a Super Connector Search.
One winner from El Centro will star in their very own Connect a Million Minds public service announcement, which will be produced by Time Warner Cable and will run on the air in El Centro. Additionally, the winner will receive a $5,000 grant for their selected nonprofit organization.
This new, user-generated contest spotlights Time Warner Cable customers that are connecting young people in their communities to the wonders of STEM.
Now through Oct. 16, customers are invited to enter the Super Connector Search by visiting www.connectamillionminds.com. On the CAMM Web site, customers can share how they’ve connected young people in their lives to STEM by writing a brief essay and uploading a related photo.
As part of the entry process, customers will name a STEM nonprofit organization that they would like to support if chosen as the winner. By entering the contest, customers are eligible to win a starring role in national CAMM commercial and up to $25,000 in grants for the STEM nonprofit organization of their choice.
But the competition doesn’t stop there.
Starting Nov. 28, the PSAs created for each of the local contest winners will be featured on connectamillionminds.com for public voting. The entry with the most votes will be named the “People’s Choice” and the STEM nonprofit organization selected by the People’s Choice titleholder will receive an additional $10,000 cash grant.
In addition to the People’s Choice winner, a panel of judges will select a national winner from the pool of the local contest winners. The national winner will be flown to Los Angeles or New York City, where they’ll participate in a television shoot for the Connect a Million Minds PSA that will run through Time Warner Cable’s national footprint.
In addition, the national winner of TWC’s Super Connector Search will receive a year of Time Warner Cable service and an additional $10,000 grant for their preferred STEM nonprofit organization.
