Calling all young Idaho filmmakers! Students in grades 7 through 12, and ages 12 through 19, are encouraged to create and submit a two to three-minute video that tells a story about helping the environment. The contest winners will be recognized at several screening events and will receive cash prizes; with two honorable mentions, students have five opportunities to win.
Cash prizes to be awarded are $1000 for first place, $750 for second place, and $500 for third place. The video must be submitted by March 2, 2025. To take part in this exciting opportunity interested students should go to tinyurl.com/ecofilmcontest and complete the registration form; a teacher, parent or guardian must be part of the team.
ESAT member, Liz Alexander, commented, “Our goal is to engage the next generation of environmental stewards to utilize the power of film to promote environmental action and inspire change.”
