The new Sundance Channel environmental programming block "The Green" is coming our way in a few weeks and Sundance wants potential viewers (which hey, might be you) to submit short video clips on the theme "What's the Big Idea?" Why would you do this? The winner gets $10,000 and a one-year lease on a new Lexus hybrid. The contest is open until the end of the month and after April 30 Sundance will put the 25 top videos to an online vote. The top five vote getters will then be ordered by "by a panel of environmental experts who will pick the winner; pieces will be judged on creativity, overall theme, feasibility and presentation."
For more details on the contest, you can read the press release after the jump (overwhelming number of exclamation mark alert). If you missed the earlier announcement about what The Green is, click here. Then you'll know whey I'm unhappy they haven't stopped using all capital letters to refer to THE GREEN.
