Sierra Bravo Web Challenge
Web development company Sierra Bravo is again hosting theOvernight Website Challenge. Twelve lucky non-profits were selected to receive a new website created in just 24 hours by over 100 web geek volunteers.
Two non-profits connected to the environmental community were selected: Friends of Fort Snelling and Yea Corps.
The web development lock-in occurs next Saturday, Feb. 28 – so make a note to check out their fancy-shmancy new sites next week!
The deadline for non-profit applications was in early January, so if you know of a non-profit in “www.” need give them a heads-up and perhaps they can apply for next years Website Challenge.

A great way for environmental, arts, and community organizations to reach out.
The Filmanthropist Project is a competition for films featuring individuals or organizations which contribute to society. The project encourages film makers of all skill levels to participate; the emphasis is on honoring people who make our communities healthier and stronger.
Its a great opportunity for local organizations to show off! The Minnesota Conservation Corps was on the front of this wave: Check out their film.
Or watch all the submissions.
This film suggests more knowledgeable and experienced environmental organizations should be featured and share information with the public. I worry about the Swan Lady setting the stage for disease outbreaks and teaching maladaptive behaviors… but her heart is obviously in the right place.
The 2008 submissions screened last week, but its not too early to start thinking about next year! It would be a great volunteer or intern project! Plus you’d gain a great video to use for additional promotions.
