When kids lead by example they have the power to transform entire communities.

Now kids can win $50,000 for their school in this year-long contest from QuantumShift.TV! The contest is open to elementary, junior high, and senior high schools in the US and Canada.  My favorite thing about this contest is that it makes the school a focal point for social and environmental leadership in its community.

When you sign up, we’d be honored if you would select Fair Trade Sports as your project! Let’s see our eco-friendly Fair Trade soccer balls on your videos!

Here are the details:

• The coolest competition for schools and students who want to make a difference.
