Students were asked to answer the question: What Does GREEN Mean to You?
Energy Works received 33 short films for the ShowGreenTV Student Film Challenge. Students from across the state of Michigan told us what it means to be GREEN in 90 seconds or less! The goals of this challenge are to showcase student green initiatives, connect students across the state, and activate students to be GREEN!
Judges selected the winning films that best demonstrated a green message, acting, editing, writing, and creativity.
Thank you Judges!
