UPDATE:

The Speak New Words Team regrets that - due to the current economic crisis - The American Students' Fund is unable to sponsor a contest for 2009. However, it's the desire of the ASF to repeat the contest on an annual basis beginning in the spring of 2010.

If you would like to learn more about the CR13 program for your school, please visit the American Students' Fund at http://www.americanstudents...

Cheers to all! Keep speaking new words!

Alright you guys, being a fellow participant, I understand how everyone feels about duration of this process. However, please understand that there are over 200 videos that a select amount of judges have to view, narrow down, and then re-upload. This is most likely done from a staff that have lives outside of this competition. In light of this, let us show that we will not just speak, but live the words which we so passionately represented in our videos.

What We Are is going on a non-profit Christmas CD. Your positive song(s) can be on it, too!

"On or about October 16, 2008, the twenty semi-finalists will be identified on YouTube and posted at the Contest website where visitors may vote for the winners. "

I know you said to be patient, but how long is the one judge going to take?

Change. Yes We Can! Thank you Mr. Obama! You have given America true hope, true inspiration, and true reason to give all that we are to make change a major part of our ideals, our country, and our lives. You hold the characteristics that we all aspire to embrace. On this day, I am the proudest that I have ever been to be an American. Your reverence for each of us as individuals encourages us to fulfill your vision of hope and change. We are forever in your debt and recognize that you will lead us into the true American Dream. GO-bama!!!
