*Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am is among the celebrity judges who will choose the winner of a contest to produce a video backing President Barack Obama's proposed health care reforms.
Others celebs on the panel include actress Kate Walsh of ABC's "Private Practice"; Seth MacFarlane, the creator of hit animated series "Family Guy," and half a dozen other entertainment names, officials announced Wednesday. From the world of politics, the judging panel will feature Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, who is also head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC); DNC Executive Director Jen O'Malley Dillon and David Plouffe, Obama's election campaign manager, among others. "Your video can be serious or funny, simple or sophisticated. Just make sure to focus on why we need to fix today's broken system, or how President Obama's plan will help make sure all Americans have the care they need," said an email sent out by Plouffe announcing the judging panel for the competition. Video entries can be no more than 30 seconds long and must be submitted by U.S. citizens. The deadline is Oct. 18. The prize for the winner will be the honor of having their video "used in a television advertisement associated with Sponsor's health reform campaign."
