We're excited to announce the launch of iReport Film Festival: Campaign 2008!, an online festival of short films from the campaign trail.

We want to see your behind-the-scenes videos of this election season. Are you organizing in your community? Registering voters on campus? Put your creativity to the test, and show us your view from the campaign trail.

The best films will vie for Grand Jury and CNN Audience Awards, and may be featured on CNN. Award winners will receive a top-of-the-line HD camera and the perfect opportunity to try it out: a trip to Washington D.C. for the inauguration of the next president of the United States.

The deadline for entries is midnight ET, October 12. Curious about what we're looking for? You can check out a sample video here.
