Wyoming youth ages 8-18 have an opportunity to show what experiencing nature means to them and exhibit their creative abilities by entering the second annual WY Outside Video Contest.
The contest encourages kids to produce a short 30-60 second video about nature. Themes can include being outdoors, leading a healthy lifestyle, learning about the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, or other nature related activities.
Contest rules and an application form are available on the WY Outside website, WYoutside.com. Entries are due by 5 p.m., October 31.
All entries must be original and must not be a copy of any existing work. Kids entering the competition are encouraged to get outside, experience nature, be creative and have fun.
The winning video will be featured on WY Outside’s YouTube page and the producer will receive a prize pack containing items donated by WY Outside partners.
Last year’s winning contest video was created by a group from the F.E. Warren Youth Center and is currently available on the YouTube page.
Entrants younger than 18 must have an adult representative that assumes all liability for the entrant and indemnifies WY Outside in respect to all matters related to the entry.
WY Outside is an unincorporated affiliation of nonprofits, for-profits, as well as state and federal agencies, working to encourage youth and families in Wyoming to spend more time outdoors. The group hopes to inspire long-term appreciation for the Wyoming outdoors through education, experience and adventure.
Visit the coalition’s web site at WYoutside.com, or follow WY Outside on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, by searching ‘WY Outside’.
For more information, or to find out how you or your agency can become involved, please contact WY Outside Administrative Coordinator Ashley Rooney at 307-777-6560 or ashley.rooney@wyo.gov.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
