An optional video contest is part the annual Green Cup Challenge between schools. The student written and directed films must inform and motivate students regarding their choices and consumption habits:

Purpose: A student written and directed video for presentation to the school community to create awareness, excitement and motivation about the Challenge.

Theme: Creativity and individual style are encouraged. The video is intended to raise awareness about Climate Change and the environment and what everyone can do to make a difference. (GCC)

This morning we came across the best Green Cup Challenge video that we’ve seen. Featured on the Boston Globe’s “The Green Blog,” Phillips Andover student, Michael Kontaxis’ “Go Green or Go Home” (above)  won Andover’s Green Film Festival and will represent Andover in the national competition. Kontaxis’ short is serious, clearly communicated, and roll on the floor funny.
