I tube, you tube, we all tube....
When I was writing the Best Ideas book, it was because I wanted everyone to be able to see the neat ideas being implemented in America in Bloom participating towns all over the US.
Now, we're on to another "best idea" and you could be $500 richer for it. There are just a few more days for you to join in. For the first time ever, America in Bloom is offering a cash prize of $500 for the best You Tube video describing a town's participation in the AIB program. Show us the excitement, the judging, the visible results, the great ideas you implemented. Let us see your best stuff!
We'll be showing our favorite videos at the America in Bloom symposium in St. Louis - September 30 - October 2, 2010.
