Deadline: February 24, 2025
Applications are open for the Inside the Greenhouse Comedy & Climate Change Short Video Competition 2025. Humor is a tool underutilized in the area of climate change; yet comedy has power to effectively connect people, information, ideas, and new ways of thinking/acting.
In this 2025, the 10th annual competition, they seek to harness the powers of climate comedy through compelling, resonant and meaningful VIDEOS – up to 2 minutes in length – to meet people where they are and open them up to new and creative engagement.

Each entry will be reviewed by a committee composed of students, staff and faculty at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder.
