Earth Day Canada Everyday Heroes
In order to celebrate this year’s Earth Day (April 22nd), Earth Day Canada is hosting a contest for all aspiring filmmakers. Every Day Heroes Film Competition is urging all filmmakers to submit their piece 90 second, silent film by March 15th.
Enthusiastic. Remarkable. Inspiring. These are just a few words that describe the individuals and groups across Canada that are doing amazing things to reduce their impact on the environment in large and small ways. They’ve taken the three R’s and made it a way of life. They’re every day heroes whose stories need to be told.
Finalists will have their films screened in shopping malls across Canada, displayed on the 270 monitors on subway platforms around Toronto, and hosted on YouTube and the Earth Day website.
Prizes will be awarded in four seperate categories, including Best of ‘Under 18’ years of age, Best of ‘18 and Over’, Best of Competition and the People’s Choice Award – so all filmmakers young and old, established and aspiring are invited to compete. Among the prizes are a MacBook Pro and a Toronto getaway to attend the Earth Day Canada Gala in June. 
Voting for your favorite film (the People Choice Award) will enter you into a contest to win a $250 shopping mall certificate.
OR are you an inspired filmmaker? Then inspire Canada this Earth Day. Tell the story of your every day environmental hero and their dedication to support of a healthier environment through the power of film.
