2011 Youth Video-Webcast CONTEST
Adopt-A-Block challenges all Mission youth to participate in a video-webcast contest beginning January 01, 2011. The contest is an opportunity for youth to reach out to their peers and to influence them in taking care of the environment by offering a message of hope and environmental stewardship. Youth are asked to submit a video a minimum of 20 seconds and no more than three minutes in length, depicting a message about how we can all contribute to creating a litter free environment and why this is important.
Following the contest submission deadline, March 15, entrants will post their submissions on YOUTUBE for a community judging period of a month (until April 15). During this time youth will be encouraged to market their video to gain voting support. Top scoring videos by community votes will then be judged by a judges committee who will select the winning entries based on originality, creativity, content, clarity, quality and adherence to contest rules. The top three videos will be posted on Adopt-A-Block's website.
The Youth Video Challenge has gained the support of several Mission businesses who have donated prizes in-kind for several great prize packages which will be awarded in April.
First place prize is $500 cash.
Second to fifth place prizes will also be awarded including gift cards for laser tag, a rafting adventure on the Fraser River, local restaurants and coffee shops, and large retail store gift cards. See Contest Poster for full prize package details.
All necessary forms and release can be retrieved from the Adopt-A-Block website. (under the 'resource' tab)
Please spread the word to youth about this opportunity!
