Skype Shines A Light On Heroes ‘Behind The Shield’ With Captain America

Captain America is one of Marvel’s supers who represents the everyman as a symbol of heroism, of the commitment to make the world a better place. In honor of the upcoming film both Skype and Marvel have partnered up with the cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier to salute everyday heroes. Hit the jump to learn more about it.

Beginning this week through March 24th, Skype users are able to submit their own Video Message via Skype onto the “Everyday Heroes” platform in order to nominate a friend, family member, coworker or general neighborhood do-gooder. If you know someone who’s fostering pets or always donating their time to homeless shelters, here’s a great opportunity to share their story of their passion to do their part to change the world.  To kick off the start of this campaign, The Cap himself, Chris Evans created a video to invite Marvel fans to submit their stories.

So hop on your Skype account in order to submit a 30 second entry to be entered. Some lucky heroes will be saluted by the cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier or  receive other great prizes like custom art by Marvel illustrators and signed posters.
