PRIZES

Two dads will win a chance to sail with a guest on the historic Hudson River Sloop Clearwater; the 106-feet-long sailing ship was built and launched in 1969 by Pete Seeger and was among the first vessels in the U.S. to conduct science-based environmental education aboard a sailing ship. In addition, the Grand Prize Winner will also receive a FUJIFILM HS20 EXR Digital Camera. The FUJIFILM camera offers a chance to "get closer to the adventure with High-Speed Continuous Shooting, 30X Manual Optical Zoom, and Full 1080i HD Movie & Photo settings."
