Win £4K in Friends of the Earth's new green film contest

Last year's Polar Bear competition winner
Tech News
Channels: Tech News Tags: video, charity

Combine your passion for making movies with your love of the environment and you could win £4,000 to make a film for Friends of the Earth. The green charity yesterday launched its one-minute film competition in a bid to find the best eco movie that lasts no longer than 60 seconds. Your work could get seen by Trainspotting producer Andrew MacDonald and Aardman's David Sproxton, who sit on the judging panel.

Last year a very good skit featuring Aussie polar bears (pictured) won the compo. The theme of 2008's contest is 'Which bit of the Earth are you a friend of?' Two awards will be doled out, one based on the public's favourite and one on the judge's opinion.

Closing date for entries is 29 August 2008, so it's probably time to hit up Shooting People for recruitment and shoot while the weather's good. Friends of the Earth has full details of how to enter the competition.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
