My Minnesota Minute Video Contest

** Announcing the My Minnesota Minute Video Contest! **

To celebrate Minnesota’s 150th Birthday the Bell Museum is sponsoring a video contest open to everyone.

Keep your Minnesota Minute video short (30 seconds is great, under 5 minutes required) and upload it to YouTube now. Tag it with “MyMinnesotaMinute”.

Beginning on Earth Day (April 22, 2008) weekly prizes will be awarded through the end of May.
