In the recent Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are legally "persons," and thus have a right to spend freely to influence elections.
The Student Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs) is hosting a video contest to highlight the implications of this decision, which begs the question, what do you think the world would be like if corporations were treated just like people?
The Student PIRGs will use the videos to educate local and state representatives, and to call on Washington to legislate a solution to the sweeping decision of the Supreme Court.
Entries are due by April 15th and the winning video will be featured on The Huffington Post.
See the Student PIRGs' contest page for full contest rules, entry criteria, scope out your competition, and to submit your video.
