The 'Project Green Prom' video contest held by Teens Turning Green and Whole Foods proves that an eco-friendly attitude isn't just for adults. The contest solicits teens to submit their videotaped ideas of how to make their school's prom more eco-friendly.

The prizes for the top contestants in the 'Project Green Prom' video contest include an eco-friendly makeover for prom, a trip to New York, a Bahar Shahpar [eco-prom dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prom-collection), and eco-shoes from Olsen Haus. Teens can upload their videos to the Teens Turning Green [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-fx) site through March 30.
