Green Wedding Giveaway^® Furthers a Commitment to Giving Back.

Clay Hill Farm’s annual Green Wedding Giveaway; the contest that encourages couples to explore the parallel between a commitment to each other and a commitment to the Earth, revs up the community give-back, ups the ante and changes the rules in year three! “Taking what we have learned from the past two years, the Green Wedding Giveaway will raise the bar for green-living inspiration and community involvement,” said Jennifer Lewis-McShera, founder of Clay Hill Farm’s Green Wedding Giveaway and CHF’s Eco-Reach^TM environmental outreach initiative.

You don’t have to sacrifice your dream to make a difference in the world is one of the contest theme’s this year, as couples celebrate green connectedness and vie for a complete, all-inclusive, summer daytime ceremony & Reception at Clay Hill Farm on July 10, 2011. But this year, spreading the contest message of green connectedness and giving back to the community, will earn all three finalists in the Green Wedding Giveaway 2011, a Clay Hill Farm green wedding package! When you celebrate the Earth, everybody wins.

Green Wedding Giveaway contestants are asked to submit a 3-5 minute video and a one page essay demonstrating their understanding of the contest message outlined on the contest website; www.greenweddinggiveaway.com  We are all green in some way, so pick your shade and shout it to the world! Entries are accepted through January 30^th, 2011. Creativity and inspirational content will weigh heavily on the independent judges’ decision in choosing the finalists, and the subsequent Grand Prize recipients. Relying on the inter-personal power of video to document each couples’ creative campaign and wedding journey, this year’s Green Wedding Giveaway will further engage the public to help celebrate the real people that make a difference in our communities

The entry requirements and the judging process are all-NEW for 2011, as the three finalists selected will be asked to create an event, program or campaign that gives back to their community in a 5-week span. The three finalists of the Green Wedding Giveaway 2011 will be making a difference in the world, and their campaign will live on.
