Brave New Voices Presents "HEAR US NOW" http://www.bravenewvoices.org/hearusnow Live & Direct from BNV 2009 - Chicago Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:43:53 +0000 en hourly 1 Get A Free BlackBerry Storm // Hear Us Now http://www.bravenewvoices.org/hearusnow/2009/07/16/get-a-free-blackberry-storm-hear-us-now/ http://www.bravenewvoices.org/hearusnow/2009/07/16/get-a-free-blackberry-storm-hear-us-now/#comments Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:41:27 +0000 admin http://www.bravenewvoices.org/hearusnow/?p=100 BNV_Blackberry_storm

We invited a group of representatives from Verizon Wireless to join us at the Brave New Voice Speak Green Performance yesterday. This year, we had an amazing group of youth from all over the country. The Verizon Wireless team were so inspired, that they gave us a free phone to give away to one of the Brave New Voices participants.

Considering that HEAR US NOW, was created as a non competitive space for youth to speak on whatever is important to them now, we didn’t want to give this phone away via a contest, a battle for clicks or tweets! That’s what the Quarter Final, Semi Final & Grand Slam Finals are for!

So, we’re going to randomly select a name from the list of participants in the HEAR US NOW program. That person will be given the brand new Blackberry Storm. It’s quite nice.

If you are one of the Youth Poets who couldn’t make it to this years Brave New Voices Festival, here’s a great chance to get your voice heard. Feel free to submit your video here (http://www.bravenewvoices.org/hearusnow/share)

We’ll be selecting the winner this Saturday at 9pm, as part of the Grand Slam Finals, so that means you have a few days.

Good luck!

P.S. Big thanks to Iskra Dobreva from Verizon Wireless for investing into this program.
