Contest Description
- Contest runs from January 1, 2008 until December 1, 2008.
- To enter, create a video on one of GDIGM's three key research points:
- G-rated movies and certain TV categories need more females as main characters, minor characters, narrators, and in crowds. 3 out of 4 characters in G-rated movies are male. In TV-Y and TVY7 there are two times as many males as females.
- G-rated movies need to create more female characters with aspirations beyond romance. In G-rated films, female characters often have no personal aspirations beyond romance i.e. romantic love or getting married.
- G-rated movies need to create more women and girl characters that are valued for their inner character, too. In G-rated films, most often plots with female leads revolve around physical appearance and ability to attract a mate.
