Bring $50,000 to Culver City Middle School in Just 10 Seconds

Help the Culver City Middle School Musical Theatre Program win a $50,000 grant.

The Culver City Middle School Musical Theatre Program has entered a contest hosted by the creators of the TV show "Glee."  Three Grand Prizes will be awarded, each totalling $50,000.  There are also 10 First Prizes of $25,000 each, and 60 Second Prizes of $10,000 each.

Ten percent of the judging is based on the public vote, held here.

As of Nov. 1, we have almost 11,000 votes and are on the 2nd page of MOST VOTES, in position 22 out of approximately 400 schools. This is a great position, but the entire city needs to keep voting to keep us in the running.  If we could finish within the top 15 it would go a long way towards winning a significant amount of money for Culver City Middle School.

Here is the entire set of criteria: Relevance to music education/theme (30 percent); originality, creativity and emotional/inspirational reaction (30 percent); demonstration of financial need of the applicable Eligible School (30 percent); and public voting preferences from the Public Voting Phase (10 percent).

The CCMS Musical Theatre Program will do great in all of the other categories, so they are hoping that the public will help take them to over the top with hundreds of votes each day.  It only takes a few seconds to do it, and there is nothing to buy with no spam included.  Just click the link, then click "VOTE."  Do it every day until Nov. 7, and help the CCMS Musical Theatre win a very valuable grant.
