RN Spotlight
Enter the Tom’s of Maine “River Stories” contest and you could win a Toyota Prius Hybrid!
Every community has its river heroes—people whose commitment to caring for rivers helps improve the quality of life in his or her town as well. Tom’s of Maine, the natural products company, is interested in highlighting your efforts.
The Tom’s of Maine River Stories Contest is calling for video entries of people working to take care of rivers. Tom’s of Maine will share these stories to inspire other people to take action, and the winning entrant will win a new Toyota Prius Hybrid!
It’s easy to register for the contest—just sign up on the Tom's River Stories website then register at YouTube and join the River Stories group. You have until October 31, 2008 to upload your video.
We know what great work you do for us—and we’d love it if you shared it with the rest of the world.
Thank You and Good luck!
River Network is partnering with Tom’s of Maine and American Rivers on a 5-Year Rivers Awareness Program to increase awareness of the importance of rivers and generate support for river conservation by inspiring others to make a difference.
