Looking for something fun to do while you're home and everything is closed? You could win a prize for getting creative with us to help promote the Census!
Join us along with fellow community members, students, and activists from around LA, as we create digital media to spread awareness about the importance of participating in the Census this April.
Many communities are overlooked for funding or lack representation in government, including people of color, immigrants, people with limited English proficiency, those experiencing homelessness, renters, low income households, single-parent families, LGBTQ, and young children.
Let's create content to help make sure these LA communities are properly counted next month during the 2020 Census!

Last year we received a grant from LA2050 to host local create-a-thons with members of the LA community to develop compelling messages and original content about voting and the census that will be shared nationwide through social media. You can read more about the grant challenge here. The content created will be uploaded into a gallery and shared nationally.
If you can dream it, you can create it.
We're specifically looking for memes, GIFs, graphics, cartoons and illustrations, videos, etc., anything that can be shared digitally on social media to raise awareness and educate our community about the Census. You can view a sample gallery of content here.
Registered participants will receive a creative brief, a special Slack invite, and will be invited to a virtual Q & A session to learn more about how to participate and win!
