I've met this accomplished young woman. I am very proud that the winner came from my state. I'm looking forward to her address to the nation.
MTV's "Choose or Lose: 20 Million Loud" campaign today announced Princella Smith of Wynne, AR, as the winner of the "Stand Up and Holla!" essay contest. Princella was announced as the winner on MTV's Total Request Live (TRL) this evening and will join Republicans from across the nation as they convene at Madison Square Garden this month to re-nominate President George W. Bush.
Princella will take the stage as an official program participant and address the nation on Tuesday, August 31. MTV's "Choose or Lose: 20 Million LOUD" aims to get 20 million young voters, aged 18-30, to the polls in November.
"We are very excited to partner with both the Republican and the Democratic conventions to call attention to the power of young voters - and to give Princella this unprecedented opportunity to address the nation," commented Ian Rowe, Vice President of Public Affairs & Strategic Partnerships for MTV. "Based on the positive response to this contest, we are more confident than ever that 20 million 18 to 30 year-olds will make their voices heard on Election Day."
More than 100,000 votes were cast in the "Stand Up and Holla!" contest. The 20-year-old Arkansan is majoring in History and Political Science at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR, where she is actively engaged in local, state and national politics. Princella said that her generation has been inspired by President George W. Bush to move out into the world and engage in a "higher purpose."
In April 2004, Princella was named a Community All-Star for Community Service in her hometown of Wynne, AR for her efforts tutoring students, participating in local afterschool programs, and assisting with church-sponsored events to aid shut-ins and assist the needy.
At Ouachita Baptist University, she educates her peers through Black History programs and participates in service projects to clean-up the local community through "Tiger Serve Day," the college's community service program which organizes various outreach events monthly. She's also a part of "Boys to Men, Girls to Women," an organization that uses basketball as a tool to keep kids off the street and out of gangs.
In addition her convention speaking engagement on Tuesday, August 31, Princella will be trailed by MTV News cameras as part of MTV's extensive coverage of the 2004 Republican National Convention. From meeting elected officials from across the nation to attending some of the biggest convention-week parties to her final moments before she goes onstage, MTV News will document Princella's convention experience from start to finish.
