For our latest video contest entry, my daughter and I teamed up.  My daughter has become a video editing enthusiast in her own right and checks several online web sites about once a week for contests<\/a> she wants to enter.  She found the Green Eggs and Ham “Ham it Up” Contest<\/a> being run to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the book and immediately saw the potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as the creative director, my 12-year-old designed the costumes, cutting and sewing her outfit from a fuzzy blanket, and we made her hat from an old bathrobe and chicken wire.  She insisted I wear a suit and a fake mustache to appear stuffy.  She wanted to go with a musical book theme so I “re-designed” the original cover with live action, composed and recorded a 2-minute piece of music that would work with the text, and then she choreographed the routine.  We recorded and edited the whole thing in a single day – 10\/10\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what’s at stake if we win?  Well, we need your votes to get in the top 11.  From there, the Dr. Seuss people will choose a grand prize winner who will be awarded $2,000 in cash, a collector’s print, a year’s supply of ham, and the full Dr. Seuss collection.  The ten runners-up get prints, a grocery gift certificate, and the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we are fortunate enough to win, the ham will be donated to the needy – likely a facility serving veterans.  As for the rest, we’re not going to count our chickens before our (green) eggs hatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only takes a moment to vote – click on this link to do so.<\/a> You will need either a Dr. Seuss login, or you can log in (and share with others!) on Facebook.  And the good news is, you can vote EVERY DAY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
