MER-KING TAIL SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST
18435
Ocean activism and conservation has always been the heart of NC Merfest. In 2015, we will be taking it a step further with our very first Tail Scholarship Contest. From now through the end of this year, your goal will be to champion the cause of the ocean and its wildlife, spread awareness and Mer-magic, and make a difference for the cause. At the end of the year, you will compile your efforts into a 90 second video and submit it to the Mer-King for judging.
The winning video will be shown at the Masquerade Ball on January 3rd, and followed by a brief speech by the winner on their efforts. They will also receive $2500 towards a tail, which will be made out to the tail maker of their choice. How would you start? Try volunteering at your local aquarium.
Pick an ocean conservancy or charity like Sirenian International, donating time and effort towards their activities. Deal with a lot of kids? Teach and engage them with ocean themed activities, or sponsor an aquarium trip with them. Places like the Sea Shepherds and their cove guardians are always looking for volunteers.
The possibilities are endless. And you have a year to make a difference! Individual entries only. Deadline for all submissions is December 31, 2014.
PS - This title will come with a crown and a sash that will elevate you to the level of Mer-Royality!
