The W.I.N. 2008 contest is the sweetest thing you could imagine that could possibly happen to your school! All students in Orange County California k-12 qualify to enter this contest to come up with innovative water conservation solutions or creative ways to communicate conservation tips. 1-4 people can submit a project. Categories are a 30 second commercial, an artistic image or 1 minute Power Point style presentation.

Let me break that down for you, kids in Orange County schools have basically entered the twighlight zone & were magically transported to the happy place, the Super Attendant of Schools & their teachers are telling them to express themselves in whatever artistic medium or Artistic forms of expression that they choose (as long as it meets the basic common sense rules, no f word, no biting the heads off of chickens, you know, the basic stuff). That means they can create insane art or Ad Campaigns, get your band together and record a Hip Hop, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal anthem while paying tribute to creative ways to save water. It can be simple things like turning off the tap while you brush your teeth, or watering your lawn at night, replacing your lawn with low water using indigenous plants, an organic garden or get really crazy and rock out with 80’s influenced song about the way to wash the dishes without any water. You could also flex your big brain and come up with a scientific or technical solution that will make you a millionaire, the bottom line is it is your call, so get crazy with it.

Your reward for this will be to WIN piles of ripping stuff from your favorite companies, no joke, check the sponsoring Brands out by clicking on the poster. You can WIN skateboards from Flip, Element, Toy Machine & Foundation, Sector 9 and not just for you but for your whole class. You can WIN shoes from Etnies, Reef, DVS, Emerica, Lakai, Element or clothes & accessories from Volcom, Quiksilver, Hurley, Livity, snowboards from Arbor, a party for your whole school & lunch catered by Chipotle with an all star skate demo.

You could WIN an organic lunch while you witness a private Mega Ramp practice session over at Bob Burnquist’s house with him & Geoff Rowley, Danny Way and other special session guests with a music set by Escalera, the Band that Danny & Bob are in together.

Oh yeah, the Mega Grand Prize winner(s) get an all expense paid week long surf adventure to Tavarua Fiji with Rob Machado, Rochelle Ballard & who knows, maybe we can talk Kelly Slater into coming along. I promise I am not making this up, winners also get to go on Fuel TV with one of the rippers mentioned on the poster and their creations are going to be shown on Fuel’s Daily Habit & a bunch of other TV shows, WoooYeah! You can also WIN computers, trips to Disneyland, a year supply of Organic Food Bars or Sambazon Acai and a private party catered by Chipotle Mexican Grill, there are so many prizes it is ridiculous.

If you are from Orange County and go to school there don’t be crazy, enter this thing. Oh yeah, everyone who enters is a winner, once you register go to the link (it will be obvious) to claim your prize. It is a sweet opportunity to go check out your local shop, just go to your local skate or surf shop identified by our trusty zip code locator and you will get free swag and 20% of on all of the participating brands you see on the poster.

If your not a student in Orange County, bummer for you, sorry, look on the bright side, you can still go skating or for a surf. We are going to every school in Multiple States next year, let us know if you want us to come to yours @ win@usasec.org
