### Prize Title
Video Explanation of Quadratic Finance and Voting
### Prize Bounty
DAI 200
### Challenge Description
**Why**
Democracy and other public good governance systems are about giving each individual a say in and incentive to contribute to their communities. Current methods applied in capitalist democracies miss these goals and constitute a natural bias against minority needs as well as widespread “free riding” behavior.
The RadicalxChange community believes in two new mechanisms - Quadratic Finance and Voting - that produce decisions truer to the collective sentiment of a group of funders / voters. Quadratic Finance is a matching funding model that encourages more broad-based participation in raising and allocating resources toward public goods. Quadratic Voting is a new twist on democracy that allows individuals to express not just their choices, but also how strongly they feel about them.
**What**
To encourage broader experimentation and adoption of these mechanisms more people need to learn about their underlying magic as well as advantages compared to current, alternative systems. In this challenge, we ask you to create an entertaining two-minutes or less video that helps people understand the mechanics and benefits of Quadratic Finance and Voting. The winning video will serve as one of the major sources for introductory information about Quadratic Finance and Voting.
We are open to all kinds of approaches but want you to comply with our design guidelines in case you add self-made animations or text. [Here](https://github.com/RadicalxChange/design/blob/master/RxC%20-%20Brand%20Guide%20-%20V0.1.pdf) are the corresponding design guidelines. Let us know if we can help you find the colors and fonts.
