High School Video Contest

Please help spread the word to Connecticut environmental educators about the “World of 7 Billion” video contest that is going on this school year.  The contest is hosted by the Education Program at Population Connection, a Washington, DC-based non-profit focused on educating today’s youth about our growing human population.
The contest is open to all high school students worldwide and the deadline for submission is February 21^st, 2014.  We’re hoping that by giving educators so much lead time, they’ll be able to incorporate the contest into their syllabi and/or promote it with teachers and high school students they work with.

World of 7 Billion Video Contest
Bring technology and creativity into your environmental education curriculum by incorporating the World of 7 Billion video contest.  Challenge your students to create a short (60 seconds or less) video illustrating the connection between world population at seven billion and one of the following: climate change, global poverty, or water sustainability.  Students can win up to $1,000 and their educators will receive free curriculum resources.  The contest deadline is February 21, 2014.
Full contest guidelines, resources for research, past winners, and more can be found at www.Worldof7Billion.org.

Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
