Prizes Offered for Films that Show Environmental Progress

Deadline: April 30, 2007 to enter


Washington, DC Environmental films and videos are sought by the North
American Association for Environmental Education for a Film Festival that
will be part of the association's annual conference in November 2007. Entry
forms and rules can be found on the NAAEE Web site at www.naaee.org.

 

Prizes will be offered for programs that tell a positive story of how
individuals and communities have come together to solve environmental
problems. The Film and Video Festival is one element of a larger effort by
NAAEE to re-invigorate the use of arts and culture in the EE field.

 

The Albert I. Pierce Foundation, www.aipfoundation.org
<http://www.aipfoundation.org/> , is the primary grant sponsor of this
project. In partnership with the Pierce Foundation, NAAEE's contest is held
in conjunction with the upcoming NAAEE Annual Conference at the Virginia
Beach Convention Center, November 14-17, 2007. The top programs will be
displayed over three days. A first, second, and third place winner in each
of two categories, Student/Amateur and General, will be awarded prizes.

The Albert I. Pierce Foundation focuses on the environment and the arts by
offering opportunities for professional development, communication, and
partnership. 

"Our mission is to encourage and nurture skills, talents, and services
necessary to ensure that our communities continue to be desirable places to
live and work," said Deb Thrall, the Foundation's executive director. "In
our inaugural year of grant-making, we are very pleased to partner with
NAAEE to facilitate NAAEE's goal to contribute to societal change through a
deeper connection to critical thinking, creative solutions, and
communication attained through artistic experiences." 

NAAEE is the professional association for environmental education. Its
members promote professional excellence in nonformal organizations, K-12
classrooms, universities (for both instructors and students), government
agencies, and corporate settings throughout North America and in over 55
other countries. Since 1971, the Association has created opportunities for
its members to improve their skills in creating and delivering programs and
services that teach people how to think, not what to think.
