Project: Report YouTube Journalism Contest Winners

Project: Report, YouTube’s first ever journalism contest (produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center), encouraged aspiring reporters to relate important stories that often slip through the news net. The winners have been announced.

After three rounds of competition, the YouTube Community voted on the five finalists and together with a panel of journalists from the Pulitzer Center, chose Arturo Perez, Jr. of San Francisco, California as the grand prize winner. Perez will receive a $10,000 grant to travel abroad and work with the Pulitzer Center on a story of global importance. Perez also received camera and video editing equipment from Sony & Intel throughout the program.

The winning video is about Camphill California, a community where adults with developmental disabilities live, learn and work together. Read more about the Camphill Movement.

The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting supports in-depth coverage of international affairs, focusing on topics that have been under-reported, misreported – or not reported at all.
