Maggie Gyllenhaal must think videotape is cool. Or cooler, anyway.

The Dark Knight actress has signed on to judge an online video contest to fight climate change.

To enter the Climate Matters video contest, create a 30- or 60-second video encouraging our next president to take action against climate change. The top winner receives a $3,000 Visa gift card from Vermont-based environmental group Brighter Planet.

The top 10 videos will be broadcast on the Web at various venues, including the Huffington Post.

Various other filmmakers—including Emmy-winning documentary producer Rory Kennedy—and environmental activists have also joined the judging panel.
