What is the Slingshot Video Challenge?
Mountain SOL has teamed up with National Geographic to assist West Virginia teenagers in crafting 1-minute-long videos about their solution to:
Clean the Air
Restore the Ocean
Protect Nature
Reduce Waste
Address Climate Change
“We believe that changing the future of conservation begins with small steps: with great ideas that drive impact in YOUR community. We believe that together, our ideas and actions will add up to progress protecting our planet and improving our future.
We invite 13–18-year-olds to rise to the challenge, and to submit a 1-minute video describing their idea for solving environmental issues for a chance to receive up to $10,000 in funding.
