05/03/2024 - For Immediate ReleaseUsing the premise of “The Efficient Fable of the Big Bad Energy Hog,” participants will create a video to bring to life the story of three wolves and the steps they take to save energy and protect the environment. Their nemesis, the Energy Hog, lurks about trying to trick them into wasting more energy. The video will serve as a learning tool for NJNG’s Energy for Education initiative and the national nonprofit Alliance to Save Energy’s (Alliance) EmPowered Schools program.
Contest Details:
- The video must be 4-9 minutes long and based on “The Efficient Fable of the Big Bad Energy Hog.”
- Videos must be original work of art in an accepted animated format.
- The winning submission will be selected based on specific criteria, including its ability to deliver quality, age-appropriate and educational content.
- The winning video will be awarded a $10,000* cash price along with recognition for their creativity in the closing credits.
Currently NJNG sponsors 52 schools in its service territory to participate in the Alliance’s EmPowered Schools program, which integrates energy literacy into the school curriculum. The Alliance’s national program will expand the reach of the “The Efficient Fable of the Big Bad Energy Hog” video into classrooms beyond New Jersey. This educational tool will teach young students to make wise energy choices and raise awareness among community members about the importance of conserving energy.
“The Alliance shares NJNG’s commitment to promoting energy efficiency for a healthier tomorrow. This video will remind students their actions matter and, over time, can have meaningful impacts on the world around them,” said Bridget Hachfeld, associate vice president of education at the Alliance to Save Energy. “Reaching students in early grades with this message empowers them to adopt energy-saving habits and reminds them they can make a difference at any age.”
