We laughed, we learned, we were amazed. I refer of course to the fantastic videos that have been submitted to our Healthy Begins Here Video Contest, hosted in collaboration with WebMD.com and sponsored by Seventh Generation.
If you haven't had time yet to check out the entries found on Healthy Child's YouTube channel, you'll soon be as excited as we are. As we anticipated, the videos are full of humor, authenticity, and inspiration. Well done to all!
The contest deadline is May 12, and winners will be announced on May 15th, 2009. So hurry and enter this weekend to win fabulous prizes!
Capture your Earth Month commitments or document changes you are making around the house, then submit a video of yourself doing what you do. The prizes are very cool - generously donated by Seventh Generation (The GRAND PRIZE winner will receive an Apple 8G iPod Touch pre-loaded with Seventh Generations Label Reading Guide application in addition to a years supply of Seventh Generation home care and cleaning products and a copy of the Healthy Child Healthy World book and DVD. FIRST PRIZE will receive a Flip Ultra digital video camera, a Seventh Generation Living Home Starter Kit and a copy of the Healthy Child Healthy World book and DVD. The eight runners-up will receive a Seventh Generation Living Home Cleaning Kit.)
There is only one rule (well, actually, there's a list of rules and you can find them at our website) but there is only one Golden Rule and that is you must have fun! If you're having fun doing it, people are going to have fun watching you, and hopefully then they'll try it too. And that's the whole point. We want you to inspire others to do whatever they can to protect their home, their health, and the planet.
So, here's how you can get started:
Step #1 - Read the Official Rules and use our Tips, Tricks, and Tools to make your video in a snap.
Step #2 - Still stumped? Check out other submissions. While there are kids in many of our videos, there DO NOT have to be children in the videos you submit!
Step #3 - Have fun making a 2-3 minute video about healthy solutions! No video camera? No problem. Turn photos into video using a free service like SlideRoll.
Step #4 - Submit your video.
Step #5 - Wait until May 15th when we announce the 10 winners!
Good Luck! We can't wait to see your videos!
