The power of video
8 maggio 2009
We recently announced the winners of the
Climate Savers Computing Initiative
(CSCI) Power Down for the Planet video contest. In March, we challenged you to create videos to educate, entertain, and inform others about the importance of energy efficient computing and you did not disappoint. The submissions made us laugh (a lot) and almost cry (okay, just a little). Not only are these videos really creative, but also they help promote a smarter, greener computing future.
The global grand prize, $5000 cash and laptops, went to a team from Southern California for their entry "
Power Down: One Computer at a Time
." Students from the
19 participating colleges and universities
were also eligible to win the student grand prize. This award goes to a team from Jackson State University for their "
Power Down the Planet
" entry. They will take home $5,000,
2009 Specialized Globe Vienna Deluxe 1 bikes powered by Specialized
, and software. To all the winners, congratulations!
Check out a playlist of some of our favorite video entries:
