 First place winner receives $10,000 and trip to the H2O Music Festival in Los Angeles

 

LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2012 — Attention Latino filmmakers, camera jockeys, visual artists and webcam heroes: The Coco Latino Project wants your original videos describing what it means to be, live and succeed as a Latino in the United States.  Video entries will be judged on content and creativity with one winner walking away with $10,000 — that’ll get you 20 percent closer to that RED Cinema camera you’ve been dreaming about, or pay for some high-quality studio time.  

Want to give it a shot?  Your Coco Latino video submission must follow one of these five themes to qualify: 

1) Identidad “Yo, Hispano” (Me, the Hispanic)

  • Explain what it means to be Hispanic. How does it impact your personal identity, if at all?
  • What’s important to you in life? How does being Hispanic affect what you consider to be important to you? 
  • How do you express your Hispanic identity? Is it in your appearance, your taste in entertainment, what you do in your free time, how you make decisions, how you form your opinions? 

2) Familia “Miembro de una Familia” (Part of a Family)

  • How do you define family? 
  • What does family mean to you? 
  • Describe your family. What role does each member play and how do they relate to one another?
  • What traditions or rituals does your family follow? Are any of these unique to your family? Are they specific to your culture? 

3) Hogar “Compartir un Hogar” (Share a Home)

  • How do you describe “home?”
  • What does your home mean to you?  How do you care for it? 
  • Describe your home.
  • Describe the rooms in your home.  What meaning does each carry, and are any rooms more important than others?

4) Influencia “Dejar Mi Marca en el Mundo” (Leaving My Mark on the World)

  • How do you influence your community, society, the world?
  • How do Hispanics influence the community, society, the world? 
  • Where do you see the greatest evidence of Hispanic influence: in politics, entertainment, fashion, technology or elsewhere?
