Inaugural Farm Flicks contest winners chosen For immediate release (January 10, 2012) – Young Canadian adults got out their video cameras to capture their views on Canadian agriculture for their submissions to the first ever Farm Flicks contest, sponsored by Farm & Food Care Ontario and the Farm & Food Care Foundation. Karly Vis from Murillo, ON submitted the winning video entry titled “Country Living.” Vis’ video provides a glimpse of the daily activities on her family’s dairy farm and she will receive a $500 cash prize for her first place win. The contest was open to Canadians between 16 and 24 years of age. The contestants created a one to two minute video on one of five topics. The videos were posted to YouTube and the contestants were encouraged to widely promote their videos. The winning entry was selected based on the number of views it had on YouTube. Vis’ video received over 400 views on YouTube when the contest closed. The submitted videos can be viewed on Farm & Food Care Ontario’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/FarmandFoodCare. Farm & Food Care Ontario will be using the videos in future educational efforts. Farm & Food Care Ontario will be launching the second Farm Flicks video contest later in 2012. Details will be posted to the Farm & Food Care Ontario website (www.farmfoodcare.org) as well as its Facebook page (www.facebook.com/FarmFoodCare). Farm & Food Care is the first coalition of its type in Canada, bringing together tens of thousands of livestock, crop and horticulture farmers and related businesses with a mandate to provide credible information on food and farming in Ontario. To learn more about Farm & Food Care Ontario or to support the new organization’s efforts, visit its newly launched website at www.farmfoodcare.org. The Farm & Food Care Foundation focuses its activities on promoting public trust and confidence in food and farming. For more information:
