Nationwide Video Contest for High School Students – Enter by March 1, 2011 (Grades 9-12)

Human population is set to reach seven billion by the end of 2011.   As this historic moment approaches, Population Connection is hosting a nationwide video contest for high school students.  The contest challenges students to create a video public service announcement that illustrates the impact of population reaching seven billion as it relates to environmental and global issues.   With cash prizes of up to $1,000 available to winning videos, the deadline for entries is March 1, 2011.  But there's something in it for you, the teacher, as well!  If at least 10 of your students submit videos, we'll send you a set of free classroom resources.  This is a teachable moment you don't want to miss! Contest information and forms are available at www.Worldof7Billion.org.  You can download a printable flyer to hang in your classroom to let students know about the contest by going to http://www.populationeducation.org/docs/7_billion_contest_flyer.pdf .
