From the Judges' Report
Very much a video for the moment, the UC system’s collaboration with Vox Media features snappy animation and eye-popping graphics in a viewer-friendly format that targets the role of individual behavior in reducing climate change. The results were impressive: more than 2.5 million views, of which nearly 1 million came on YouTube.
