Today, many people and organizations use video to create real impact for social causes.

Meanwhile, the prevalence of video in our everyday lives is growing by the minute. A February 2013 report by Cisco indicates that video accounted for more than half of all mobile traffic for the first time in 2012. It is expected to account for two-thirds by 2017.

We are holding the potential to change the world in the palms of our hands.

To recognize those who are taking advantage of the power video has to multiply impact on people, communities, and the planet, Cisco Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is supporting the 2013 DoGooder Video Awards.

Has your organization produced creative, impactful videos? If so, get recognition for your work by entering your best videos in the 2013 DoGooder Video Awards.
