Event Description
We're running a photo and video contest between now and September 1st in order to collect images (still and moving) that we can use in our "Eat the View" campaign to plant new gardens in high-impact, high-visibility places. The contest is open to individuals and groups from anywhere in the world. A $200 gift certificate to Johnny's Selected Seeds will be awarded to the person or group submitting the most creative and engaging content.
For anyone planning a Kitchen Garden Day celebration on the 24th, you might consider using that occasion to snap some pics or shoot some video related to our campaign themes.
For photos, for example, you might consider playing off our Obama/McCain picture by sharing a picture of yourself or KG Day celebrants biting into a part of your own view like my favorite vegetable models are doing below . Alternatively, you might have some fun creating banners or posters with slogans that play off of the campaign themes or "This Lawn" video ("I'm eating the view. Will You?", "It's My Lawn Too!" "Don't Just Mow it, Sow It!" etc.). As for video, you might record your group shouting out "Eat the View" or singing "This Lawn is My Lawn" in four part harmony. Let your imagination roam free.
Whatever you choose to do, please keep it fun, light, and either bipartisan or nonpartisan. Although we kitchen gardeners may be used to working in the mud, it doesn't help our cause to sling it.
One of the many cool things about our new website is that it's very easy to upload your own photos and videos. So, once you've got some things to share, please use the site's upload tools. We're also interested in group and action photos from Kitchen Garden Day from different parts of the world. KGI was founded on the belief that gardens and gardeners offer a bridge between cultures. Imagine the impressed faces of foreign dignitaries dining at the White House when they learn that their salad greens were harvested earlier that day from the South Lawn!
You may upload your pictures and videos at any time between now and end of the day September 1st. Please tag your content with "ETVcontest" (without the quotes) so that it's easy to find. Thanks and have fun!
