Win up to a year's free transit in APTA's "Dump the Pump" video contest

The American Public Transit Association is sponsoring a video contest asking transit riders to describe why they are Dumping the Pump this summer.

Join the contest in three easy steps:

Create a video. Grab your phone or digital camera and film yourself describing why you’re Dumping the Pump this summer. Is it to save money? Help the environment? Reduce stress for a better quality of life? No matter what the reason is, APTA wants to see how creative you can make it!

Upload your video to YouTube and – this is important – tag your submission with "dump the pump." APTA will add it to the other videos at its Dump the Pump YouTube channel.
 
Win free public transportation in your area for one year and an iPod touch if your video is chosen by APTA as having the most overall impact! The second place winner will receive six months of free transit. Third prize is three months of free transit.

The first 25 qualifing video submissions to the Dump the Pump video contest page will receive a $25 VISA cash card for their submission.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. Open to legal US residents who are 18 years of age and older. Videos must be submitted between 12:01 AM on 6/18/09 and 11:59 PM on 9/18/09. Participation is subject to Official Rules which can be found here. Void where prohibited.
