Earth Day Challenge: 2009 Contest Winners
In a desire to express their views and voice their concerns, young people from around the nation submitted outstanding films for entry in the 2009 Earth Day Challenge Filmmaking Contest. Some of these films were submitted independently, while others were produced in Earth Day Challenge Summer Experience camps across the country that focused on environmental topics ranging from exploration of our national parks to combating dangerous climate change.
After close review of all entries, the MLI is pleased to announce the winners for 2009!
