Convince Me to Go Green

Sustainability is back for 2010 with the Theme: Going Green, The Power of One.

Sustainable CUNY is sponsoring a video contest called the “Sustainable CUNY Shorts Video Contest. The prize is $500 and the contest is open to anyone from CUNY (staff, students, alumni).
You are asked to create a video entry no longer than 2 minutes that inspires people  to hug trees…well not exactly. The video is to get people aware of what they can do to help save our environment.

Your submission can be in any form, skit, demonstration, song, short film, etc., but must be submitted to the Sustainable CUNY YouTube channel by April 21, 2010. The judging will be done based on both content and views, so make sure to get your videos up quickly and tell everyone you know to watch it.

Here are the winners from last year’s contest, and the video entered by CT students for 2009 as well.
