Global Cool film competition: Topic - Climate Change

From the Treehugger newsletter:

“The star-studded climate change campaign Global Cool has announced a film competition on the topic of climate change. The London-based organization’s competition targets “aspiring young filmmakers,” and tempts them with cash prizes of up to £5,000. The competition will run through June 30th; additionally, the contest will award prizes for the best reviews of films submitted. ::more.”

According to Treehugger, “Global Cool is a charitable foundation established under the umbrellas of the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors in the US and the Climate Group in the UK.”

Here’s some more information from the Global Cool website:

“Global Cool is a foundation (Global Cool Foundation UK) and a production company (Global Cool Productions Ltd) that are working together to stir anyone who cares about the planet to do their bit to save the planet they care about.”

They even have a clearly stated DIY policy in place (pretty cool!):
