Save the Animal Crackers!
This year, the National Geographic Channel asked college students from around the country to create a film or PSA for their Annual Preserve Our Planet Film + PSA Contest using the theme “what you do counts.” From now until March 28th you can vote for your favorite short film and Public Service Announcement once per day from among the top finalists in each category.
Check out this amusing finalist, “Animal Cracker Nature Show” by American University student Genna Duberstein:
Hi Dorothee,
Thanks so much for featuring us!
I am sad to inform you that hackers took away the ACNS’s lead in the contest. As I understand it, the Hope College entry managed to write a script that generated 1000s of votes in a matter of hours, and set up a facebook page offering to give donations in exchange for votes.
Instead of disqualifying the contestant, Nat Geo decided to EXTEND
VOTING until the 31st. We are now about 2000 votes behind, and this
may be a lost cause, but we would like to ask you to continue voting daily (and please spread the word).
