About the Video Contest

* * Update 4/21/08: Submission process is now closed. Scroll down to see all the entries received! * *

In May of 2008, Minnesota will celebrate a big birthday—150 years of statehood! But YOU are the future of Minnesota. You will inherit the results of decisions that adults make (or fail to make) today that affect Minnesota’s future. What kind of state do you want to live in when you’re an adult? And what do you think ought to be done to make sure that happens? What do today’s young people have to contribute to this future?

Students submitted videos that creatively express answers to these questions. Decisions are currently being made about the finalist videos. Scroll down to view all of the entries submitted.
