Be the Change! Share the Story!
The Be the Change! Share the Story! school video contest invites student teams to choose and execute a social or environmental project of their choice and document their progress in a couple of short videos that will be uploaded on Quantum Shift TV between September 2007 and March 2008.
An original, entertaining video puzzle game is woven into the contest to optimize the educational impact, allow for crosspollination of ideas, encourage community involvement and increase visibility of the projects.
Inspired by schools already doing this, Quantum Shift decided to create a contest to connect schools in the United States and Canada and create a global community where students can connect with other students and learn more about the social and environmental work being done by people their own age.
The first video will be about how the students selected their project, planned it and started working on it and is due January 31, 2008. The second video, updating viewers on the execution, results and learning, is due March 31, 2008.
Grand Prize Winners will each receive $10,000 in cash, $15,000 in computer and other school material and the schools’ choice of a combination of a Bob Burnquist organic garden and greenhouse, a skateboard park, playground, jungle gym or comparable recreational facility delivered and installed by the Action Sport Environmental Coalition.
