The Land Conservancy Extends Deadline for Nature Video Contest

Local land trust nonprofit The Land Conservancy of McHenry County (TLC) is accepting original videos for its inaugural Art of the Land Amateur Video Contest. The contest is open to people who enjoy creating videos and who make less than $2000 from video work each year.

TLC is hosting this contest to highlight the beauty of open spaces and to showcase the themes “The Land Speaks” or “The Art of the Land”. Videos do not need to be shot at a Land Conservancy of McHenry County property.

Entrants may submit one video for an entry fee of $10. Video contest entries can be submitted via the TLC website. All video entries must be received by October 21, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. (The previous deadline was Oct. 12.) The creator of the winning video will be notified October 29. One cash prize of $100 will be given to creator of the winning video.

The winning video will be shown at the 2018 Art of the Land art show and fundraiser on Nov. 9 and 10 at The Starline Factory in Harvard.
