WHAT?
My Minnesota Minute is an online video contest. Join us as we celebrate 150 years of Minnesota history by taking a look at Minnesota's natural places and asking how we can protect and restore these special places for the next 150 years.
This contest accompanies The Bell Museum of Natural History's Minnesota Minute television campaign which can be seen on TV beginning in May or at http://www.minnesotaminute.org. These one minute videos tell the story of Minnesotans who are helping to preserve and restore Minnesota's natural places.
Now it's your turn!
Perhaps you know of a special place that needs help? Maybe you have a solution to share? Is there something you do as an individual or a community that makes a difference for the future of Minnesota's natural places and resources? Tell us what changes you think the next 150 years will bring to Minnesota's environment. Grab a camera and start shooting!
HOW?
The contest is open to everyone. Submissions will be gathered from YouTube with the best submissions highlighted on the Bell Museum of Natural History's My Minnesota Minute site. Featured videos will also be highlighted in the Bell Museum's magazine Imprint, as well as on the websites of our media partners. All who submit will be entered in a drawing to win a Sony Palmcorder digital video camera and other prizes. Submit videos any time between March 20th and September 1 - the end of the State Fair.
