For 25 years, Dawn has helped save the lives of countless aquatic animals covered in oil. This year, we are expanding our program to include a unique contest to identify a highly motivated and environmentally conscious individual who will embark on an all expenses paid journey across the USA in Fall/Winter 2006 to work with and learn from an assortment of leading wildlife rescue agencies, and then chronicle his/her entire experience online for ordinary consumers through a blog.

   
The purpose of the journey is to highlight the actions of the rescue workers and volunteers he/she will encounter along the way, and ultimately to help Dawn make a difference for the environment by inspiring ordinary people to change their everyday behaviors. We are currently looking for qualified candidates to enter the contest by completing an official contest application form and submitting a video clip at www.dawnsaveswildlife.com , and we need your help!

* International Bird Rescue & Research Center (IBRRC)
* The Marine Mammal Center
* Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary
* Tri-State Bird, Rescue & Research
* National Marine Life Center
* Cape Cod Stranding Network


Selection Criteria:
All prospective candidates must complete an official contest application form online at www.dawnsaveswildlife.com , and submit a short video demonstrating their interest in and passion for participating in the program. An expert panel will select the winner.


Timing:
Applications will be accepted between 7/31/06 - 8/23/06
* Winner selected and notified on or before 9/6/06
* Winner in field and active between 9/24/06 - 12/17/06
