Whether you cook or write or are an aspiring producer/director/writer … there is an category for you to choose from … with a nice prize package … and the knowledge that you are helping in the over-weighting of the world!
There is ONE prize of $1000 for EACH category. So $3000 in all is up for grabs.
The three categories:
1) A-plus lunches:
The winning entry will be a healthy meal that fits inside a lunchbox, does not require refrigeration, appeals to children and is simple for a busy parent to prepare. Entries should include recipes and a picture of the meal in a lunch box.
2) Sugar-free fundraising:
This category invites ideas for school fundraisers that do not call for families to sell candy or other unhealthy foods. Entries should provide a template in 500 words or fewer that can be used by any school to launch a fundraiser. The winner will present an idea that is practical to execute and likely to produce as much revenue as traditional candy sales.
3) Reshape your attitude:
The winning entry will be an audio or video file that raises awareness about weight stigma. It could be a song, animation, short film or any other genre so long as it does not run over 3 minutes. We’ll make the winner available on our website for download and sharing. Judges will look for excellence and impact.
Deadline: October 23, 2006
Eligibility: International
