Are you a non-profit group working in your community to help make British Columbia more sustainable?
With BC Hydro’s Community Champions program, you could win $10,000 for your initiative by simply explaining what you do in a short YouTube video.
Submit Your Nomination Video by September 30
Create a video, no longer than three minutes, to nominate yourself as a Community Champions, and upload it to YouTube. Send BC Hydro the link and a submission form by September 30 and you could be chosen as a finalist. Use your smart phone or digi-cam or even a video slide show with voice over can work as a submission.
Between October 15 and November 15, finalist videos will be featured on the Community Champions site and 5 winners will be determined by public voting and a panel of BC Hydro judges.
Making A Great Nomination Video
Non-profit organizations submitting videos to the BC Hydro Community Champions program have a great opportunity to show how they’re doing great things for British Columbia and highlight their initiative. Here are some tips to get noticed:
- Communicate what your organization does for sustainability
- Show how a donation could help your organization continue with the work it does
- Share any challenges the organization is faced with
- Remember not to use copyrighted material and to ensure everyone in the video has signed a release

To make sure your organization makes the cut, here’s what they’re looking for in the video submissions:
- How your organization contributes to sustainability. Make sure you describe how your organization and project contributes to sustainability and the environment.
- An energy or electricity focus: Does your project or organization support energy conservation and energy efficiency? This should be clearly communicated in your video.
- Supporting the community: It’s not called Community Champions for nothing! Share how your organization supports and benefits your local community.
- Quality of your video: Make sure your video clearly identifies your organization and what you do.
- Youth and school engagement: Your video should explain how your organization engages youth and schools.
