EPA is sponsoring a contest inviting Americans to make informational videos to help spread the word about the dangers of Radon. We are looking for 30-60 second videos with the theme "Radon: Test, Fix, Save a Life" that encourage Americans to test their homes for radon, and fix the radon problem if they find one.
The maker of the winning video will receive $2500 and have his or her video shown at the National Radon Training Conference in Las Vegas in September. Aspiring filmmakers can go to www.radonvideocontest.com to find out more about radon and to enter the contest.
Here are a few quick facts about radon.
If you have questions about the contest or require additional information, email: radonvideocontest@cadmusgroup.com.
We hope you will join us in promoting this exciting contest!

Here are a few quick facts about radon.
- The U.S. Surgeon General and EPA recommend every home be tested for radon.
- Exposure to indoor radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America, claiming more than 20,000 lives annually – That’s more deaths each year than drunk driving, falls in the home, drowning, or home fires.
- Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you can't see, smell, or taste.
- Radon seeps into homes through cracks or seams in the foundation and can build up to dangerous levels inside your home.
- The only way to know if you have a radon problem in your home is to test for it. Testing for radon is easy and inexpensive – short-term test kits are available at your local hardware store or online for $20 or less.
