BC News has come up with a startling and dynamic new project - asking the question: Waht could our world look lke over the next 100 years if we don't act now to save our troubled planet?

The producers are looking for short videos to create the world as it might be in the years 2015, 2050, and 2100.

Your videos will be used with the projections of numerous top scientists, historians and economists to create a moving web-based narrative about the perils of our future.

And, ABC promises to ari the most "compelling' reports during hteir 2-hour prime time ABC News broadcast - Earth 2100.

How the Game Works:
Using data and projections from top scientists, we will present three future scenarios of the world from the years 2015, 2050, and 2100. We want you to be our reporters for the future.

View the briefings above to learn about future conditions in your location, beginning with the year 2015. Your task is to create a gripping video (1-3 minutes long) about your future world as if you are experiencing it now, firsthand. Your videos can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose — perhaps it’s a “news” report to a webcam about the impact on daily life, or even your own simulation of a natural disaster. Be creative and be sure identify your location and speak in the first person. By the end of the game, the year will be 2100 and you will have created a unique three-episode narrative of the next century. Users from around the world will be able to view and comment on your imagined forecast and predictions.
