 VIEW THE VIDEOS AND VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE TODAY >>
Six videos have been selected as finalists in the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s Critter Commercial Contest. The public is invited to vote for their favorite video submission.
Public voting will end on May 22, 2012. The winning entry will air on Nebraska television stations during next spring’s tax season to promote donations to the Check for Wildlife option on Nebraska tax forms.
More than 45 independently produced videos were submitted for consideration. The videos feature Nebraska’s animals and plants and the importance of the Wildlife Fund for conservation. The top six entries came from Crete, Norfolk, Loup City, University of Nebraska - Lincoln and Wayne.
Where does your Money go?
Since 1984, tax deductible donations to the Nebraska Wildlife Conservation
Fund have helped the thousands of species that call Nebraska home. Wildlife
Conservation Fund projects help those species considered non-game, or those
that are not hunted or fished. Donated dollars have big impact, since Wildlife
Conservation Fund dollars are matched with other grants, so that a dollar
donated becomes 4 dollars for helping wildlife. The Wildlife Conservation
Fund’s makes many types of projects possible, including:
- Improving habitat across Nebraska for our at-risk species
while keeping common species common by funding projects such as prairie
restorations and invasive species removal.
- Preventing future endangered species listings by funding
reintroduction projects such as the now thriving peregrine falcon, by funding
research to ensure efficient conservation such as a river
otter population and genetic study and long-billed
curlew habitat study.
- Education Projects such as Project
BEAK (Bird Education Awareness for Kids) that targets grade school
children about ecological principles such as habitat, Nebraska's birds
and adaptation.
- Connecting Wildlife and Nebraskans through projects
like wildcams for the peregrine
falcon, kestrel and least
tern.
For a donation of $25 or more you will receive a premium gift of a "Do Something WILD!" T-shirt with the image of a pouncing swift fox. The 100% cotton, natural color T-shirt is available in S, M, L, XL and XXL.
Our efforts to protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats cannot succeed without your support. Please help us today with a tax-deductible gift!
