If you had been asked as a child "What would you do in this big world if you could do anything you wanted?" what would your answer have been? As we've grown up, maybe we've lost track of how big the world really is, but that doesn't mean the children of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America have to.
This organization joined with the Jeep brand to ask more than 4 million children in the United States this very question, and with that, the "Dream Adventure" Contest launched. The contest is a partnership between the Jeep brand and Boys & Girls Clubs of America that aims to provide thrill-seeking children with a "dream" for their Club that is rooted in adventure.
Contest entrants aged 6-12 were invited to submit illustrations while entrants age 13-18 submitted 60-second videos to depict their ultimate Dream Adventure for the chance to be named one of four top winners based on visual impact, compelling title, creativity and other judging criteria. Each of the four winners will receive an adventurous day of Jeep-themed prizes - including games, food and guest speakers - to share with family and friends as well as other Boys & Girls Club members.
