The video could be about "any environmental topic or issue, as long as it promotes environmental awareness and action".

Jeanne and her team out at Kidsfirst Lincoln noticed that the children had been very interested in Hector's Dophins, and so decided to make the video to express how the children felt about the animal.

A number of local schools and preschools entered the competition. The certificates and prizes were presented by Kelvin Coe, Mayor of Selwyn. The event was attended by not only the Mayor and Deputy Mayor but also the Lincoln University Chancellor.

Have a look at their award-winning entry right here! This passion and excitement is what Kidsfirst is all about.
