What a Difference – Trip – Over 18 yo – Due: August 31, 2010

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Ad Council have launched a new contest focusing on how friends help those dealing with a mental health problem. This is a great opportunity for 18 to 25 year olds to share a great story about how they have helped someone through a particularly hard time in their life and I was hoping you might be interested in spreading the word.

Recovery from mental health problems happens in a society of acceptance. Friends can make all the difference by just being there and offering support, friendship, strength and acceptance.  You have always been there for your friend – here is your chance to tell your story. We’re looking for meaningful stories about friends helping another through recovery from mental health problems or during a particularly hard time in their lives. (more…)

Upper Playground Short Film Contest – Ultra Motor A2B Bike – Open to all – No duration limit – Due: August 30, 2010

Upper Playground has launched a short film submission contest in partnership with Ultra Motor and Chrome Bags, with the winner of the contest being awarded a one-of-a-kind Ultra Motor A2B bike and a Chrome Citizen bag which have both been specially customized by artists PEZ and Joshua Blank.

In keeping with the spirit of the prize, the theme of the video submissions must be bike oriented.

Submissions will be judged on the same qualities that Upper Playground has strived to hold themselves to:

  • creativity
  • innovativeness
  • consistent focus on originality

Whichever video matches these qualities best, will be featured on the Upper Playground Video Channel, WalrusTV.

The winner of the contest will not only win a one-of-a-kind Ultra Motor A2B bike, but also a Chrome Citizen bag, both of which have been customized by artists PEZ and Joshua Blank.

Ultra Motor has positioned itself at the forefront of the electric bike industry for the sleek design and the consistent over-performance of their bikes, and the Metro bike that can be won has a retail price tag of $2,600 – not to mention the addition of artwork and stickers by PEZ and Joshua Blank, whose sticker based art has made a name for itself through their involvement in bike culture and messengering in New York City and San Francisco. The Chrome Citizen bag has become an instantly recognizable mainstay in not only the bike community, but also in urban living – and the artists have added unique detail to the front panel of the bags.

The first runner-up will receive a PEZ and Joshua Blank Chrome Citizen Bag as well as a $250 gift certificate to Upper Playground – and the second runner up will receive a similarly customized Chrome Citizen Bag as well as a $100 gift certificate to Upper Playground.

All videos must be submitted by August 30th and our panel (The FIFTY24SF Gallery Director, Amanda Krampf. PEZ and Joshua Blank. And the folks from Ultra Motor and Chrome Bags) will judge the submissions and announce the winners on August 31st.
