DALLAS (SMU) – A video by Lance Barnard, a first-year student from Sherman Oaks, Calif., is the winner of SMU’s 2011 Green-Minute Video Contest, held annually to foster sustainability and concern for the environment.
The second place winner was Ryan Tanner, a first-year student from Arizona, who received a 22-inch flat screen TV. The third place winner was Anh-Thuy Nguyen from Viet Nam, a masters student in Meadows School of the Arts; she received a $50 Starbucks gift card.
The winners were announced and the winning video shown at TEDxKids @SMU on Friday, December 2. It also was shown at TEDxSMU on Saturday.
The contest, now in its third year, challenges SMU students to produce a fun, one-minute video that encourages environmentally responsible behavior on the Hilltop.
“This contest is as fun for us as it is for the students,” said Eric English, co-chair of the SMU Sustainability Committee. “The videos do a terrific job of spreading the sustainability message on and off campus, and we feature them at various events throughout the year. “
