ATTENTION COLLEGE STUDENTS!
National Geographic Channel has launched the 2nd annual Preserve Our Planet College Film + PSA Contest. The contest continues the Emmy Award-winning National Geographic initiative Preserve Our Planet, inspiring and empowering each of us to work together to preserve the world around us for future generations.
WHAT YOU DO COUNTS
This years criteria include a new core idea Together We Can Make a Difference that the entries should reflect in some way. Preserve Our Planet is about working together to preserve the animals and wild places that make our world so spectacular. These living habitats can be found in your own backyard, in cities big and small, in the middle of our oceans or anywhere in the world. Films and PSAs should reflect this core idea, but how students do so is up to them. Most important, students should be creative and have fun!
