Your mission, should you choose to accept it: make a 30-second TV ad that tells the nation why Barack Obama should be our next President.

(Note: we at UniversityChic.com are bipartisan, but we think this contest is pretty cool. If John McCain has a similar one, we'll let you know!) 

If you and your friends have writing, acting, or video editing talent—whether you're a total amateur or a total pro—now is the time to use your creativity to help Obama win.

MoveOn.com has launched an ad contest called "Obama in 30 Seconds." Anyone can make an ad about Obama between now and April 15. The public will vote on the best ads, and a panel of judges, including Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and John Legend, will pick a winner among the finalists.

The site will air the winning Obama ad nationally, and the winner will receive a gift certificate for $20,000 in video equipment. For more info, go here.
