Carbon Cap Metaphor Video Contest
These really are the best contests. You can make money without selling your soul to a brand.
Many scientists, economists, environmentalists and business leaders agree that a cap on carbon emissions is the best way to cure our addiction to oil. But, quickly and vividly explaining how a cap will solve our energy problems is a challenge. We need your help conveying this concept to the American people in a clear, brief, convincing and memorable way to stick in the public’s consciousness—like the well-known shot of an egg frying that depicted “your-brain-on-drugs. We want a video or visual analogy smartly, vividly and clearly explaining how a carbon cap will break America’s addiction to oil. Don’t focus on global warming—its importance, impact, or the necessity to solve it. We know it’s a critical issue, but that’s not the message of this project. This is about drawing a line between our over-dependence on oil and the cap that will solve it.
