April is Water Conservation Month in Florida and Miami-Dade County wants you to “Get Your Green On!” The contest is open to all Miami-Dade County high school students. Create an original Public Service Announcement showcasing environmentally sustainable activities and your commercial could air at movie theaters across the County.
Every student who enters will receive a free “Use Less” T-shirt and the winning entry will be played in movie theaters across the county. Videos should be 24 seconds in length and feature only original material. Topics and ideas for your video can be found at green.miamidade.gov. All videos will be posted on YouTube for a one week period from noon on May 10th to noon on May 17th. During this period, the top ten videos with the most views will go on to be judged by the panel. After review of the videos, the winner will be announced. From Miami-Dade County:
All entries must be submitted no later than April 30, 2010. Visit MiamiDade.gov for entry forms and details.
The judging panel will consist of three members, with a mixture of professionals with backgrounds in sustainable living, design and/or television production. The judges will meet for a one day period to review the entries. Using the Video Judging Form, each judge will evaluate the posters on the following criteria:
Sustainable Living Message (50 points) – Does the video convey the theme’s message clearly and link to the sustainable living subject?
Visual Effectiveness (30 points) – How does the video relay the message and does it require you to take action? Will you remember the video next year? Is it creative?
Universal Appeal (10 points) – Regardless of age, language or educational level, everyone should be able to understand the message. Does it appeal to the general population or a large audience?
Originality (10 points) – Artistic Expression.
Come on Miami… Get Your Green On!
