Youth video submission
Alaska Wilderness League
Hey there youth of America!
We need your help in spreading the word about Alaska Wilderness League's 2020 Vision for the Future of America's Arctic. On March 24, 2009, 20 winning videos will be shown at Vision Fest film festivals across the country to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Let your creative juices run wild for the wild!
We're looking for video submissions from twenty-somethings across the country. Are you a budding filmmaker? Do you know someone who loves to shoot videos? Are you concerned about the threats of oil and gas development to polar bears in the Arctic? Will global warming negatively impact your future if it's not dealt with soon? Then make a video to put those concerns into action.
What are we looking for? A short film illustrating what America's Arctic means to you personally, to America, and to the world. What are your hopes and visions for the future of America's Arctic in 2020? Though the backdrop for 2020 Vision will be the 20th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the spill does not have to be a main theme of the production.
The style can be rough, i.e., in You Tube fashion (cell phones, Flip Video cameras), or highly produced in documentary style (digital camcorders, etc.). Videos may be B&W or color, with music and narration or without. But the video must be produced by youth ages 18-30.
Please spread the word about this fun project. Your film could be seen by thousands of people across the country. Attached is a flier that you can post around your campus and community.
The deadline for video submissions is February 28th, so act fast. More information on how to submit your film and the submission guidelines can be found at www.alaskawild. org/visionfest. If you have questions, call 202-544-5205 or email- ashton@alaskawild. org.
