2021 Advocacy Project Pitch Competition

Our Virtual Advocacy Internship Program and Project Pitch Competition has officially come to a close. We are excited to share the compelling project ideas that were developed and congratulate this years competition winners. We enjoyed getting to know this year's participants and are so grateful for their hard work this summer. Thanks to all who made this year’s program a success!

Results

The quality and variety of submissions were fantastic, even our Audience Favorite voting resulted in a three-way tie! After much deliberation, we couldn’t choose a favorite either - so we didn’t!

The First, Second, and Audience Favorite awards will be split by this years top three winners:

Caelle McKaveney - Saving the Tope Shark

Casey Shook - Ending the Caged Bird Trade

Ella Rose Steven - Protecting Australian Biodiversity

Our Tito’s Vodka Prize was awarded to Julian Kanter - Proposing Oregon’s Animal Protection Party

Congratulations Caelle, Casey, Ella Rose, and Julian!
