The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is sponsoring a competition for videos that promote the concept of “reduce, reuse and recycling” solid waste. Deadline to submit a video in the contest, which is called “Our Planet, Our Stuff, Our Choice,” is Feb. 16.

The entries should be either 30 seconds or one minute in length. The first-place winner will receive $2,500, the second-place winner $1,500 and the third-place winner $1,000. The winners will be announced in April 2010 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
