Attention students: Do you enjoy making films? Do you care about the environment? Interested in educating the public about critical environmental issues?

Almost 5 years ago, Green Community Connections introduced the annual One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest.  The contest is open to students from grades 3 through college level and was created with the goal of engaging youth in the discussion about sustainability issues and getting them thinking about solutions.

Each winning filmmaker will receive a cash prize and matching grant of equal value to be given to a non-profit organization chosen by the filmmaker.  Winning films are featured at One Earth Film Festival.

Film submission should choose one or several of the following topics on which to focus the theme of the film:

• Water
• Waste
• Food
• Transportation
• Energy
• Open Space and Ecosystems
