Perhaps your friends are always complaining that you have your head in the clouds, or you can’t put down that video camera. Well, maybe you should be entering the NASA Earth Day Video Contest 2012. 

NASA has changed how we think about exploring Earth and even how we see Earth. So, to mark Earth Day 2012, they are inviting you to create your own video vision of NASA's exploration of Earth -- The Home Frontier.

The winner will receive behind-the-scenes access to the next rocket launch of a NASA Earth-observing satellite. The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), a joint project of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in January 2013.

To see videos that have already been submitted go to YouTube.
 

Guidelines:

• Submissions should be short. Think movie trailer or advertisement or simply your own personal statement. Say, 1 to 2 minutes at most. If you think you can do it in 15 seconds, go for it.
• You are responsible for ensuring that any use of video, imagery or music meets copyright and fair-use laws. Any entries that do not meet this standard will not be considered eligible.
• The video should use some elements from NASA’s vast collection of Earth imagery and data visualization, which is free and available to the public. You can find some of the best here.
• NASA will have final judgment on whether submissions will be acceptable and appropriate for this contest.
• By submitting a video to the contest, you grant NASA a royalty-free, irrevocable right to reproduce, publish distribute, perform, display, create derivative works of the submission, or otherwise use the work for Federal purposes, and authorize others to do so.
• Tag your video with this exact language -- "NASA Earth Day Video Contest 2012" -- to ensure that NASA finds it.
