GW Planet Forward and Office of Sustainability Present…
The Campus Challenge

Win a Capital Bikeshare!

Soon the weather will be changing, and Planet Forward is gearing up. We’re seeking videos or essays that demonstrate clever ways to live sustainably.

We’re setting up a Campus Challenge page here on PlanetForward.org, where you can vote for the best submissions. The submission that receives the most votes wins FREE CAPITAL BIKESHARE MEMBERSHIP FOR ONE YEAR.

Show us an idea that’s moving the planet forward.

Submissions may feature anything from DIY composting to potato-powered light bulbs. They also should address the following questions:

Why is your idea different? What is cool or new about it? How will it impact our future?

Criteria

Videos

1. One minute and fifteen seconds (1:15) or less in length.
2. Upload to YouTube or Vimeo, then submit to our site.
3. Be creative! We’ll take anything from web cam commentary to music videos. As always, the best submissions could end up on TV!

Essays

2. Provide reasoned arguments, reports on new research, or personal experiences.
