The Faces of the Grassroots contest is an opportunity for ameteur and professional videographers to publicly exhibit creativity, environmental justice stories, and connect with others working to raise awareness of the movement.
“Faces of the Grassroots will help EPA expand the conversation on environmentalism and work for environmental justice,” said Charles Lee, director of the Office of Environmental Justice.
Videos can focus on any environmental justice activity, issue, or topic. Examples would be a music video about climate change, or a video recording a successful environmental justice project that has made a community a healthier and happier place to live.
Awards will be given to the winning submissions in each of the below categories. The videos will also be featured on EPA's website and may be used as public service announcements.
