Think Freely Media is sponsoring its first Great Communicators Tournament in 2014 to identify, from within the liberty movement or beyond, and promote individuals who can effectively and persuasively discuss and defend the free market and the founding principles. The 2014 Great Communicator will be named during the State Policy Network’s Annual Meeting in Denver, after competing in front of judges Guy Benson, Mary Katharine Ham, and Heather Higgins.
Contestants will first submit a video of him or her describing a policy issue using moral arguments to support a free enterprise or limited government position. These videos should:
•take the moral high ground in making the argument •be hopeful, aspirational, and/or address the issue of fairness or inequality •put the other side on defense
The videos will be posted available for the public to view and we will ask the public to vote for their favorite video(s).
Twelve finalists will be selected and invited to the State Policy Network’s Annual Meeting in Denver to participate in the Great Communicators Tournament.

Great opportunity for FReepers to either enter themselves or to reach out and encourage young conservatives in Illinois to participate. We’re dead last in liberty and it’s actually an opportunity.
Please share with your email lists, churches, clubs and other conservatives you know of.
This is a real opportunity to get going here in America’s North Korea!
They also have boot camps to help teach you to communicate effectively. Getting the message through is like transmitting into occupied territory. We’ve few friends in media.
