The Next 100 Years Video Competition

Lights, camera, action! Calling all APA planning student members.

Deadline: February 13, 2009 EXTENDED

APA is sponsoring a student video competition in recognition of the Centennial of the Planning Movement in America.

The first hundred years of planning produced improvements in public health, housing, and the environment. Create a video that captures your vision for the next 100 years. What milestones will shape the planning movement? What issues will be at the fore?

Be funny. Be creative. Be your own director.
