Get Sick Productions,
a
local viral marketing and new media production company, has produced
what could soon be an award winning video in a national Cash for Cans
contest.
The "I CAN" video, which features citizens, a mascot, and even
pair of elephants promoting aluminum can recycling, is one of about 75
videos that were submitted to the contest sponsored by The United
States Conference of Mayors, Novelis Corporation and Keep America
Beautiful Inc. The winning city earns $5,000 for local
recycling efforts. The winning video will be the commercial for Keep
America Beautiful's 2010 Cans for Cash city recycling challenge.
Cincinnati's video was chosen as one of the best and is in the top 12. From Oct. 12-Oct. 31, you can vote for the winning video HERE.
"This contest is a great way to showcase Cincinnati in the
national spotlight as a leader in sustainability," says Jon Miller,
President of Get Sick Productions. "Everyone can help the city by going
to the website and voting for the video."
Cincinnati's Office
of Environmental Quality, Get Sick Productions, Rumpke, Mayor Mallory's
Young Professionals Kitchen Cabinet (YPKC), and the Cincinnati Zoo
collaborated to produce the video for the contest.
"This was a great opportunity for the various organizations in
the area to come together and support an important cause," remarks Aja
Roberto, YPKC member.
