“I long
to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty
to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.
The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its
heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest
worker”. --Helen Keller |

JUDGING:
The judging will be based more on the content rather than quality
of video. Technical perfection is important, but not essential.
Focus should be to capture the spirit of the
these NGOs, who have dedicated their lives for service. Capture
the people behind these insitutions and why they do what they do.
Tell us how they are making a difference in an inspiring way.
Have a look at some of these Inspiring
videos on KarmaTube to
see what makes a powerful video.
A panel of selected judges
will do a preliminary review of all the 101 films and select the
best 5 films in each category. Once the top 25 films are selected,
at the premier, a new set of judges will judge the films and awards
will be given out to the winning films. The judges invited will
include a range of famous directors, actors, social workers, corporate
executives and youth icons of today. |

He shot into prominence with Filmi Chakkar - one of
the most successful comedies on satellite TV. Soon after

''Sheen',
'And
the world remained Silent',

Through his films he brought to light the plight of the Kashmiri

a part of his sensibilities. |
