Are you the creative type and would like to put your skills to use for a good cause… like getting more people out of cars and onto bikes (or other alternative transportation options)? Enter the Drive Less Video Challenge and get into the director’s chair for the chance to have your creation air on the big screen and win prizes, including a Grand Prize worth $3,000.
The objective? Create a 25 second video that motivates people to drive less. Here is some more from the contest web site:
“The opportunities are endless. You could spotlight your own money-saving tips, poke fun at excessive driving or feature any number of travel options (transit, biking, walking, carpooling, telecommuting, etc.) – so long as your video motivates people to reduce car trips. All videos must incorporate the “Drive Less Save More” message (the more creative the better!).”
The two categories: a General Category (ages 18 and up) or Youth Category (ages 17 and younger). Both individuals and groups can enter. The grand prize winner will see their video air as a TV commercial, plus they’ll receive an Apple iMac and Final Cut Pro Studio 2, or $3,000. Prizes will also be awarded to the top three winners of the General and Youth Categories. Submission deadline is Jan. 30, 2009. Visit DriveLessSaveMore.com for all the details!

Who would have thought that Old Man Winter would be paying Oregon an early visit this year, let alone entrenching us in so much ice and snow? Arctic Blast 2008 hit Oregon pretty hard so we are extending the submission deadline of the Drive Less Video Challenge to 5 p.m. March 16.
That’s right! Same great prizes, including seeing your creation on TV and winning $3,000, just more time to put your video submission together.
