Decade of Impact: School Video Contest
To celebrate 10 years of the Sustainable Jersey for Schools program, we’re launching a statewide Instagram video contest! Schools are invited to post a short (up to 60-second) video showcasing how a sustainability project or initiative has made an impact in their school or community. To enter, tag @Sustainable_Jersey on Instagram or @SustainbleJersey on Facebook, use the hashtag #DecadeofImpact, and invite us as a collaborator on your post. The three videos with the most likes on Instagram or Facebook before June 30 will receive sustainability grants to fund their school initiatives.
