Enter the "Why I Love Composting" video contest!

Got a thing for composting? Got some great ideas for making it happen at home, school, or work? Are some of your best friends Lumbricus Terrestrises?* Then grab a video camera, tell the world all about it, and enter it in the "Why I Love Composting" video contest -- you could win one of our cool prizes

Make a fun, serious, wacky, sublime, poetic, scientific, and/or artful video that educates, inspires, informs, and gets people jazzed about composting.

Categories are:

- A 30-second public service announcement

- A 3- to 5-minute flick 

- Both categories include Youth & Adult winners (Youth=ages 17 and under; Adult=ages 18+, as of 1/1/11)

How does composting happen? How do you set up a system at home, school, or work? There's much to explore -- let your imagination take you there.
