If your students had one burning question to ask President-elect Barack Obama, what would it be?

ePals.com http://www.epals.com , an educational social networking site, is offering K-12 students across the nation a chance to get that message across to the next president of the United States. Whether it’s global warming, world peace, or the economy, the Your Presidential Minute http://www.epals.com/elections contest encourages students to think creatively and passionately about the issues that matter most to them-and then to convey that message to Obama in the form of a one-minute audio recording, a one-minute video, a 200-word written submission, or a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation. All submissions should directly address the president-elect.

Students should think “globally and be creative,” such as writing a song, poem, or speech to emphasize their points. ePals will compile the best responses online and share them with the president-elect, his transition team, and members of the ePals Global Community.
Videos, audio files, and other media can be uploaded to Election Central http://community.epals.com/groups/elections/media/default.aspx, and written entries should be submitted to electioncentral@epals.com.

The contest is being offered through ePals’ Election Central http://community.epals.com/groups/elections/default.aspx page, which allows students to discuss their ideas with family, friends, and teachers, as well as their peers around the world through Election Central’s student forums.
