Minnesota Minute

Thanks to everyone who entered this contest it was one of the MOST SUCCESSFUL ON LINE VIDEO CONTESTS ever.  We had more entrants that the recent Walker Museum Contest and a recent contest sponsored by the Brooklyn Museum.  What does this tell us?  Minnesotan’s are interested and engaged in environmental issues.  This is the kind of energy we need to continue moving toward a more sustainable future.  All entrants were eligible for prizes and award winners were randomly selected through a drawing held at the Bell Museum last friday.

This is the Grand Prize Winner!

Summer Thunder Storms are one of the most majestic events we have here in Minnesota. I have collected some submissions (and one I love that is not a submission, can you spot it?) that will hopefully inspire you to step outside and watch the next one roll in. Remember to head to the basement when the sirens sound!
