Over the last year, the EPA has successfully embraced the use of social media to help promote environmental stewardship. One of their most recent efforts is the launch of a water quality contest. According to their Web site, they are “looking for educational videos that inspire people to help protect our streams, lakes, wetlands, and coasts.”

Two winners will be chosen and each will receive $2,500. Their winning videos will be posted on the EPA Web site. According to the EPA, “entries must be received by Earth Day, April 22, 2009. The contest winners will be notified in May via e-mail.”

You can find out more about the contest by watching the video below and by visiting the EPA Web site.
