Lights, camera, action! The *Solar Idol Contest launches in Ontario!
The *Solar Idol Contest is an online talent searching, looking for solar energy solutions from high school students across Ontario. We want students to produce a creative 1-3 minute video showcasing their solar energy solution for the world’s climate crisis. Students can produce their videos in English or French, and enter them into the Contest for a chance to win great prizes. Videos will be judged by both student peers and by a panel of judges. Videos will also be featured exclusively on the *Solar Idol Video Channel on Vimeo.
*Solar Idol is an excellent opportunity for Ontario students to get creative, think outside the box and let their imaginations shine. It encourages students to explore the future possibilities of renewable energy production, consumption and conservation.
All forms of renewable energy powered by the Sun are eligible for submission, including photovoltaic, photosynthesis, wind, water, and more!
The video submission deadline is Friday June 1st, 2012!!
For more information, please visit www.solaridol.org or contact shine@solaridol.org
Thank you, and shine on!
We should always encourage creativity in our kids. This kid has got to be one of the coolest 9 year old’s.
