Citizens for Global Solutions is a DC-based non-profit dedicated to building U.S. political will and increasing awareness among U.S. citizens about our global interrelationships. As a part of Global Solutions' educational and youth outreach initiatives, they've launched a flash video contest, asking students, and young designers to create videos that address global issues, and the role of the U.S. within them.

The contest has closed to submissions, but you can still vote for your favorite. There are twenty finalists, ranging in age from 14 to 32, and hailing from all over the U.S., Mexico, Germany, and Colombia. You can watch all the fims and vote for a winner here.

Thanks, Charles!
