GetRichSlowly. org (http://GetRichSlowly. org)--the top-ranked finance blog on Technorati--has launched the 2010 GetRichSlowly. org Video Contest.

Each participant may submit up to two entries in each category.
Winners will be chosen by GetRichSlowly editor J. D. Roth, author of the recently published book, Your Money: The Missing Manual (O'Reilly), based on creativity and originality, compelling content, popularity and usefulness to the GetRichSlowly. org community.
"GetRichSlowly. org has grown into an amazing community of everyday folks who help each other tackle financial problems," said Roth of the Web site, which now garners half a million visitors every month. "Since 2006, I have joined other writers in sharing stories about debt elimination, saving money and frugality. Now it's our readers' turn to tell their stories."
So pull out your video cameras and start recording. A grand prize of $500 will be awarded to one winner in each entry category, in addition to ten honorable mentions in both categories who will receive an autographed copy of Your Money: The Missing Manual.
